Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, announces the launch of its new Colour Atlas by Archroma® Polyester Library, with 1’440 colours for sportswear, athleisure, swimwear, children’s clothing, shoes, fashion and home textiles.
- A library of 1’440 off-the-shelf colour standards, adding to the already available 4’320 colours of the ‘Colour Atlas’ for cotton
- Online and physical library of colours allowing increased speed-to market for sportswear and fashion designers, brands, retailers and manufacturers.
In 2016, Archroma launched the Colour Atlas by Archroma®, a unique tool dedicated to providing fashion designers and stylists with off-the-shelf colour inspiration for cotton that can be implemented in production with just a few clicks.
This original Colour Atlas Cotton Library today contains 4’320 colours, almost double compared to similar tools available to textile and fashion specialists, with options for purer ingredients and lighter resource usage for brands exploring more sustainable collections.
‘Engineered colour Standards’ readily available for every colour ensure the entire supply chain is aiming for the same colour and are supported via worldwide technical dyeing support. The result is seamless colour management from the colour selection to its implementation in production.
