The Color Atlas, introduced by Archroma in 2016, has become a go-to resource for fashion designers and stylists seeking instant color inspiration that can be seamlessly incorporated into production. Now, with the integration of the 5,760 Color Atlas colors on swatchbook, designers can swiftly create accurate digital colorways and visualize their final products with ease.

Furthermore, the adoption of digital materials supported by trusted technology significantly reduces the need for physical samples and eliminates the reliance on physical swatchbooks, offering substantial environmental benefits and cost savings for brands and suppliers alike.
As the fashion and textile industry continues to embrace digital transformation, the partnership between Archroma and swatchbook sets a new standard for color accuracy, efficiency, and sustainability. With this collaboration, designers and manufacturers can navigate the dynamic demands of the modern market, ensuring that their creations shine with unparalleled vibrancy, while optimizing their operations and environmental impact.
