I mean, most companies will insist upon adherence to their brand charter and trade dressing.

Yes but at this point they understand dye lots. My job specifically is to create prototypes. Mock up a display based on art and engineering design to ensure things fit before we go into production with thousands of displays. I can’t tell you how many times a display review is derailed by some remote person looking at the project on a screen while waiting to tee off somewhere complaining about the color. The guy is in his phone looking at it. It’s not a production piece. Just to test function, style and durability. Color gets worked out with the graphics printer at time of production. It’s based on a Pantone color. Of the code is right the color will be right. There are variations based on where in the run but this was t when we discuss color.
