Color Matching Service

Interested in sending a sample? Look below for instructions!

Step 1. Obtaining a sample (2x2 inch preferred)

• Option A: Send a swatch.

For furniture, swatches can be obtained from hidden, inconspicuous areas. Sometimes, the manufacturer will leave a full swatch underneath the cushions. Some manufacturers may offer free leather samples of your furniture's finish upon request. Otherwise, look underneath the furniture, inside cushions, or along seams for excess to trim a sample from. 

For automotive, look at the underside of the front seats or around the back seats (if applicable) for any hidden excess. Check inside of seat pockets and around removable headrests as well. A 1x1 inch sample or something as large as your thumbnail can work if you cannot find a larger sample. You are welcome to send removable pieces such as trim and headrests, just give us a heads up. We'll ensure these items are returned with your order. 

• Option B: Send a Paint Chip

Paint chips can be obtained from your local paint store. The paint chip should be an accurate representation of the color you need for the leather.

Step 2. Fill out the form

Please fill out the required form. You will want to fill out this form and include it with the color sample. Click here to download the form.

Step 3: Mail the form and sample

We cannot match two-tone or multi-colored pigmented leathers. We prefer a 2x2 inch swatch for color matching, but a 1x1 inch or something as small as your thumbnail can work. Please be aware the sample you send us may not be the same as the piece you are repairing due to fading and wear. We cannot match to email pictures or photos.
