Colour Management and Approval
You see how a colour gets agreed and how the agreement is enforced: the standard, the lab dip chain, what a spectrophotometer number does and does not settle, the light the shade is judged under, the shade band that survives cutting, and what a fastness failure costs once the bulk is dyed.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can read a dye and finish route and predict what it will do to shade, fastness, shrinkage, and cost. You can judge a lab dip and a bulk shade against the agreed illuminant. And you can take a costed decision on a lot that has come out off-shade or off-hand.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a complete colour file for one order. You write the tolerance clause a buyer and a mill can both enforce. You read a lab dip report line by line against it. You draw a shade band plan with the cutting rules that follow from it. And you cost a fastness failure four ways against the order's actual margin.
