Color control the way you want it and the way your customers will accept it
Your ability to accommodate retailer and brand owner requirements can influence their decision to give you their color business. Yet, every retailer and brand owner has unique requirements when it comes to color control and the supply chains that manage color. That’s where Datacolor TOOLS can help.
We take the inevitability of change and build it into our software… giving you more flexibility to accommodate the requirements of your customers, suppliers and your own color quality control laboratory. More importantly, we make flexibility easy to accommodate your color technicians’ experience levels.
Datacolor Tools™ will help you:
- Satisfy the changing color control needs of your customers and suppliers
- Reduce sample submissions and rejects with artificial intelligence color tolerancing
- Increase speed & color approvals by “training” the software to evaluate samples
- Simplify color control for color QC technicians
- Gain powerful color management insight into laboratory and production processes with comprehensive reporting and analysis
- Pinpoint color deviations and optimize dyelot color matching with optional Datacolor MONITOR™ software for continuous dyeing operations
- Minimize lot to lot variation and speed garment manufacturing with optional Datacolor SORT™
- Optimize your complete color control process with seamless integration with all Datacolor Spectrum color control products

Color control the way you want it and the way your customers will accept it
Your job involves more than just producing consistent color from batch to batch. You’re responsible for meeting each customer’s unique color quality control criteria. From simple pass/fall tolerances to more complex supply chain process control mandates, it takes more than color quality color (QC) software. You need flexible color control—flexibility to meet your customers’ color control needs, plus integrate your own color workflow. That’s where Datacolor TOOLS can help.
