• Refer to the color name and number (19-2924 Holly Hock) for precise specification in design documents and production orders.

3.2 Color Evaluation

• Compare the TPG Sheet directly against physical samples or prototypes to evaluate color accuracy.
• Ensure consistent lighting conditions during evaluation to avoid metamerism (colors appearing different under different light sources).

3.3 Chipping for Samples

• If smaller color samples are required, use the printed 1" x 1" grid on the back of the sheet as a guide.
• Carefully cut along the grid lines using sharp scissors or a craft knife to create individual color chips.
• Each chip will retain the color name and number on its reverse side, ensuring traceability.
