Although the color scans on this web site were scanned
with a very high quality scanner not all computer monitors
are the same and do not necessarily display colors the same
way. It is recommended that you have your video resolution
adjusted to 800 x 600 or greater and your color depth set to
16 bit (high color) or 32 bit (true color). Most modern
computers are capable of displaying 16.7 million colors at
one time in 32 bit mode.
If an exact color match is required request a sample -
if samples are available for the product you are interested
in please request a swatch. Note: No refund or product
exchanges will be offered over color related complaints
unless a swatch sample is ordered in advance.
Wood Blinds
It is considered normal for wood to take stain
differently. A difference in color across the grain is
normal. If you are planning to order blinds for your whole
house we recommend ordering them all at one time. Your order
will be filled using slats from the same batch. If you order
the same color at a later date it is very likely that it
will come from a different dye-lot and will not match
exactly. We do not guarantee color matching a previous
order.
It is also normal for painted (white) slats to vary
slightly in shade from one batch to the next. We cannot
guarantee an exact match if you order blinds at
separate times.
If you must order blinds at different times we recommend
doing so by room. Order all the blinds that are going in the
same room at the same time.
Cellular & Sheer Shades
Cellular Shades / Sheer Shades will also vary slightly in
color from one dye lot to the next. If you must order shades
at different times we recommend doing so by room. Order all
the shades that are going in the same room at the same time.
Bamboo Natural Woven Woods
All woven wood shades and hand woven shades are carefully
created and finished to preserve and enhance the natural
beauty of the grain and texture. Due to the nature of slats
and cords, colors are subject to to color variations. We
cannot guarantee exact match from shade to shade. We will
attempt to make such matches as close as possible, and
natural variations to make exact matches will be impossible
from lot to lot.
- Color Variation
Both paint and stain on natural slats are subject to
variation. Reed and wood slats will retain the unique grain
and color irregularities inherent from natural woods, water
reeds, and grasses.
- Yarns
A wide array of natural and man-made fibers are used in the
making of yarns for woven woods. Pure, bright colors are
achieved by using the finest dyes available. Even so, over a
period of time slight fading may occur on the exterior side
of the shade or lining, depending on the amount of sunlight
the the fabric is exposed to. The interior side of the
fabric is protected from fading by the slats, but will occur
after a long period of time.
- Fading
After a long period of time, exterior and interior
discoloration will occur. The colors will become more yellow
after exposed to the strong sun light.
Norman Shutters
NOTE: At this
time we do not have a sample program for Norman Shutters.
While I have done my best to scan the colors as accurately
as possible I can tell you that colors like these appear
differently from one monitor type to another and can vary
based on resolution setting and color depth setting.
As a result, if you do not have access to samples for Norman
Shutters and color matching is a priority - DO
NOT ORDER. If you order based on how the thumbnails
appear on your monitor - you WILL NOT
and CANNOT receive a refund if you are not
happy with the color choice once the shutters arrive. Custom
shutters are labor intensive and raw materials are cut to
your specifications. Unless you receive the wrong color
(order white receive bisque) your shutters CANNOT
be returned, refunded or replaced for any reason other than
warranty repair and service.
