What You Get With Our Color Cards
Lock a color direction before you sample, with physical cards, real fabric in hand, and lab dips backed by a clear MOQ.
Choose Colors With More Confidence
Color selection is easier when you compare shades on fabric, not just on a screen. Our fabric color cards let you review color directions, texture, stretch, handfeel, and application suitability before you sample or commit to bulk dyeing.
For activewear, swimwear, underwear, sun protection clothing, sportswear, and polo shirt fabrics, the same color can read differently depending on fiber, GSM, fabric structure, and finishing. Physical cards and swatches give you a clearer reference before you move forward.
See Colors on Real Fabric
Review shades on actual nylon spandex or polyester spandex fabric, instead of relying only on digital images.
Compare Color Directions Faster
Check basic colors, seasonal shades, nude tones, darks, and brights, plus application-specific options, all in one place.
Check Fabric and Color Together
Color is best reviewed alongside fabric quality, GSM, stretch, handfeel, surface, and intended garment use.
Prepare for Lab Dip or Sampling
Once your color direction is clear, request fabric swatches, lab dips, or custom dyeing support for the next step.
Not sure which color direction fits your fabric?
Tell us your end-use and target shades. We'll point you to the right color cards and send physical swatches so you can decide on real fabric, with custom dyeing from 300 kg per color.
Available Color Card Directions
Explore reference shades by fabric application. Pick a color direction, then request a physical swatch, fabric sample, or lab dip for the colors you want to move forward with.

Confirm Your Color On Real Fabric
Color availability varies by fabric quality, composition, GSM, and production plan. Before you lock a shade, request physical swatches or a lab dip so your final color is confirmed on the exact fabric you'll run.
Stock, Color Card, Custom Dyeing & Lab Dip
Different color options fit different sampling and production needs. Use this to choose the right next step before you confirm fabric samples or bulk dyeing.
| Color Option | What It Is | Best For | What You Should Confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stock Color | An available color that may already be in stock for certain fabric qualities. | Faster sampling, small trial orders, and basic color needs. | Fabric quality, available quantity, shade consistency, and current stock status. |
| Color Card Color | A reference shade from our fabric color card for selected nylon spandex or polyester spandex fabrics. | Choosing a color direction before you request swatches or lab dips. | Fabric type, GSM, composition, color availability, and whether the shade applies to your selected fabric. |
| Custom Dyeing | Dyeing fabric to your target shade, Pantone reference, or brand color direction. | Projects with specific color requirements or seasonal color development. | Target color, fabric quality, quantity per color, dyeing MOQ, and testing requirements. |
| Lab Dip | A small dyed fabric sample prepared before bulk dyeing. | Checking custom colors on your selected fabric before production. | Shade approval, fabric base, lighting conditions, color tolerance, and approval process. |
| Pantone / Target Color | A color reference you provide for custom shade matching. | Brand colors, seasonal palettes, nude shades, team colors, and special development. | Final color should be checked by lab dip on the selected fabric, not by screen image alone. |

Color Risks To Check Before Bulk Dyeing
Color should be checked together with fabric quality, garment use, and testing requirements. Run through these points to cut color mistakes, sampling delays, and production risks before you confirm bulk dyeing.
Screen Color Is Only A Reference
Screen settings, lighting, camera exposure, and image editing all shift color. Use physical cards or lab dips for final shade approval.
Same Shade, Different Fabric
Fiber, GSM, fabric structure, surface texture, and finishing all change how a color reads. Confirm the shade on your selected fabric quality.
Dark Colors Need Fastness Checks
Black, navy, wine red, and deep green should be checked for washing, rubbing, perspiration, and bleeding before bulk production.
Light Colors Need Coverage Checks
White, nude, light pink, and beige can show transparency or uneven coverage on stretch fabric. Check coverage against garment use and lining needs.
Bright & Fluorescent Need Care
High-saturation and fluorescent shades are harder to match and may need extra lab dips. Review fastness and shade tolerance before bulk dyeing.
Contrast Designs Need Staining Checks
Contrast panels, linings, waistbands, trims, and binding can cause staining or color migration. Test the combination before bulk production.
Stretch Can Change Appearance
Some fabrics look lighter or uneven when extended. Check color under normal wear stretch, especially for leggings, swimwear, underwear, and fitted garments.
Bulk Dyeing May Vary By Batch
Lab dip approval confirms the target, but bulk should still be checked by dye lot. For repeats, keep the approved standard and confirm tolerance ahead.
Special Uses Need Special Testing
Swimwear may need chlorine, seawater, and sunlight checks. Sportswear and underwear may need stronger wash, rub, and perspiration fastness.
Lock These Six Points
Before Final Color Approval
- Fabric quality
- Approved shade
- Testing standard
- Color fastness level
- Quantity per color
- Special use requirements
Send your fabric and target shades. We'll prepare a lab dip and confirm fastness and tolerance before you commit to bulk.

Color Card & Dyeing FAQ
Common questions on color cards, stock colors, custom dyeing, lab dips, and color fastness. Still unsure? Send your fabric and target shades and we'll guide your next step.
01
Do you provide fabric color cards?
Yes. Color cards are available for nylon spandex and polyester spandex knitted fabric projects. Share your fabric type and garment application first, so we can recommend suitable color card directions.
02
Can I choose colors directly from website images?
Website images are reference only. Color can look different because of screen settings, lighting, camera exposure, and fabric surface. For accurate confirmation, use physical color cards or lab dips.
03
Are color card colors available for all fabrics?
Not always. Availability can depend on fabric composition, GSM, structure, finishing, and production plan. Confirm the fabric quality first before selecting the final color.
04
What's the difference between stock color and color card color?
Stock color is an available color that may already be in stock for certain fabric qualities. Color card color is a reference shade from our fabric color card. Confirm availability, quantity, and fabric compatibility before sampling or bulk production.
05
Can you custom dye Pantone or brand colors?
Custom dyeing can be discussed based on your target color, selected fabric quality, and quantity per color. For Pantone, brand, nude, or seasonal colors, a lab dip is recommended before bulk dyeing.
06
What is your MOQ for custom dyeing?
Our standard custom dyeing MOQ is 300 kg per color. The final requirement may depend on fabric quality, color type, and production arrangement.
07
What is a lab dip?
A lab dip is a small dyed fabric sample made before bulk dyeing. It lets you check the target shade on your selected fabric quality before production starts.
08
Do I need a lab dip if I already chose a color card color?
For standard color direction, a physical color card may be enough for initial selection. For custom colors, strict shade requirements, brand colors, or repeat orders, a lab dip is recommended before bulk dyeing.
09
Can the same color look different on nylon and polyester?
Yes. The same color can look different on nylon spandex and polyester spandex. Fiber type, GSM, fabric structure, surface texture, stretch, and finishing all affect the final appearance.
10
Do dark colors need color fastness testing?
Yes. Dark shades like black, navy, wine red, and dark green should be checked for washing, rubbing, perspiration, and bleeding, especially for sportswear, swimwear, underwear, and contrast-color designs.
11
Do light colors need special checking?
Yes. White, nude, light pink, beige, and other pale shades may need coverage and transparency checks, especially on stretch fabrics or close-fitting garments.
12
Can you send fabric samples together with color cards?
Yes. Fabric samples and color cards can be arranged together. Share the fabric type, garment use, target color direction, quantity per color, and shipping information before requesting samples.
