How do I find a filament of a given colour?

Pick the colour, type its HEX or RAL code, or take it from a photo: every filament and resin of the catalogue is ranked by how close its colour is, across all brands, and the filters keep the brands, materials and finishes you want.

ΔE (CIEDE2000) measures how different two colours look: under 2 the difference is barely visible, under 5 they read as the same colour side by side, above 10 they are different colours. It is computed from the colours brands give for their products; a screen and a real spool can still differ.

Can I search by RAL or Pantone code?

Yes. A RAL Classic code sets the colour to find and puts first the products whose brand declared that code. Pantone colours are licensed, so a Pantone code finds the products whose brand gave that exact code.

Is my photo sent anywhere?

No. The photo is opened in your browser and its colour read there: it never leaves your device.

Three ways to search

A colour, a HEX code or a photo →Pick it, type it, or take it with the eyedropper on a photo of the part, the box or the room it must match.
A RAL Classic code →215 colours, one page each: the products whose brand declared the code first, then the closest ones.
In the catalogue →Tiger Studio's two colour bars: slide a window over the rainbow or the greys, and combine it with brand, material and finish.

How the match works

Every product carries the colours its brand gives in the TigerTag+ catalogue. Your colour and theirs are converted to CIELAB, the space that follows the eye, and compared with CIEDE2000 (ΔE), the measure printing and paint use. A multicolour filament counts its closest colour; a RAL or Pantone code the brand declared comes first.

ΔE is the colour difference (CIEDE2000): under 2 the eye barely tells them apart, above 10 they are different colours. A screen only approximates a spool.
