Color match request form

An example of a generic color match request form used as a tool to gather the above data is shown in Figure 17.1. 

The first essential step in color matching is to define the requirements of the color project. A standard form, that is, a color match request (CMR) form, is highly recommended. The CMR form, shown in Figure 5.2, asks the questions needed to define the sphere in which the color match must be accomplished polymer type, standard, competitive material, performance, volume, cost, and so on. Once the CMR is fully filled out, the scope of the match is defined and the process can be started.
