Color Matching Filament, If you're a manufacturer of Filament, please read....
If you're like me, you're finding it hard to get the same color filament each time you order a spool, even from the same Manufacturer at times.
I have a simple request. When you sell your filament, please include some sort of way for us to easily color match. For example, you can use the Pantone system. Hell I'll take a HTML color equivalent like #FF0000 vs #DD0000, at least then I can compare and contrast colors a little more scientifically then trying to guess the shade from a picture on Amazon.
It doesn't have to be exact, and if colors change over time, then great, at least I can get a reference to what the color will look like. I've ordered "Red" from 3 different manufacturers and gotten 3 different shades. Same with "Blue". I've even gotten two different shades of "Blue" from the same manufacturer.
Color names are OK, but they really don't tell me much. What is Green vs Light Green. How light or dark is the Green really. What shades are Red, Ruby Red, and Red Lava?

Yes, Why not use the already existing RAL codification of colours ?

I am hoping the manufacturers would do this to help us out, I'm not really concerned about WHICH one they choose, just choose one so we don't have to guess.

Hi,
MakeShaper's filament is all Pantone matched and includes the # on the label. We also add UV stabilizers to guarantee that our filament stays the same color with no variance in batches. We can even do custom pantone colors to fit you needs, however this requires a bulk order. If you have any questions email me at info@makeshaper or check out our website http://www.makeshaper.com

Both our red abs and pla are matched to Pantone 186C which is pretty red, here is an item that was printed with our red abs.

Yes, that Is a Nice color but we need Red like this color , See picture:
I think it's more of a Cherry red.
(So far I've not found any filament in that color, all are Pink or Orange )
