Metamerism: Matching Colors

You know how sometimes dark blue can look like black in your closet and you only find out when you’re halfway to work and notice that your socks don’t match? It happens as a result of a property called Metamerism. Under different types of lighting (fluorescent) certain colors can appear to match while under a different light source (daylight) they can look very different.

That same thing can happen with a sticker. We at PrintMyThing deal with this so much that we have a light booth that allows us to look at our stickers under the three major kinds of light and make sure we match your chosen colors with them all. The 3 light sources are: fluorescent, incandescent and daylight.
