Electric Aqua – Bold, Vibrant, and Unmistakable

This isn’t just blue—it’s bold, vibrant, and full of energy. This striking aqua tone feels both fresh and dynamic, capturing the essence of open skies and endless possibilities.

Matching a color this lively takes more than just pigment—it’s about nailing the undertone, saturation, and material interaction. At Tone Studio, we specialize in precise, repeatable color matching, ensuring that every shade is spot on—whether in gloss, matte, or a unique finish.

Does this shade remind you more of crystal-clear waters or retro electric hues? Let’s talk tones! ⬇️

Design is in the details.

From color to material to finish, every choice shapes the experience. We craft with precision—so your ideas don’t just exist, they resonate. #CMFDesign #IndustrialDesign #Prototyping #DesignInnovation

A Perfect Balance – Blue-Violet, Refined.

Not quite blue, not quite purple—this sophisticated blue-violet is the perfect harmony of depth and elegance. Rich yet soft, bold yet understated, it’s a hue that shifts with the light, bringing a sense of calm and confidence to any design.

Matching a color this nuanced takes more than just the right pigment—it’s about understanding material, finish, and how color perception changes in different environments. At Tone Studio, we ensure every match is precise, repeatable, and perfectly tuned to your vision.

Does this shade feel moody and mysterious or modern and refined? Let’s talk tones!

Seeing Red—Through Every Layer.

Translucent colors are a whole different challenge—especially when matching a deep, rich red like this one. It’s not just about surface color; it’s about depth, density, and how light moves through the material. Too dark, and it loses its glow. Too light, and it loses its richness.

That’s why this sample is invaluable—a precise color match that balances clarity and depth, giving designers a true representation of how the final product will look in different lighting conditions.

Getting translucent colors just right takes expertise, and at Tone Studio, we make sure every layer, every shift, and every tone is dialed in to perfection.

Depth in Every Reflection.

This isn’t just grey—it’s a deep, high-gloss neutral that balances boldness with refinement. Rich, reflective, and endlessly versatile, this shade absorbs and plays with light, creating a sleek yet understated presence.

CMF designers, we know how tricky dark neutrals can be. Too warm, and it leans brown. Too cool, and it feels harsh. But when the balance is just right, you get a timeless, high-impact finish that works across industries—from automotive to consumer electronics.

Does this shade remind you more of polished stone or liquid metal? Let’s hear it! ⬇️

Pure, Balanced, Just Right.

This isn’t just white—it’s clean, neutral, and perfectly balanced. No harsh cool tones, no unexpected warmth—just a crisp, refined shade that adapts effortlessly to its surroundings. A white that feels intentional, timeless, and precise.

CMF designers, we know that not all whites are created equal. Too cool, and it feels sterile. Too warm, and it loses its neutrality. That’s where precision color matching makes all the difference.

Does this white feel more modern and fresh or soft and classic? Let’s talk below! ⬇️

Soft, airy, and effortlessly cool—Pantone 7452C is a delicate balance of blue with a touch of lavender. The challenge? The color target was a gloss sample, but we seamlessly translated it into a matte finish while maintaining its depth and vibrancy.

Matching colors across different finishes takes more than just the right pigments—it requires expert calibration, material awareness, and an understanding of how light interacts with surface textures. At Tone Studio, we specialize in precise, repeatable color matching, ensuring your vision is brought to life in any sheen or material.

📌 Mood Boards: Where Ideas Take Shape. 🎨✨

Before a final color, material, or finish ever comes to life, it starts here—a carefully curated mix of textures, tones, and inspirations. Mood boards aren’t just about aesthetics; they’re about storytelling, emotion, and direction.

CMF designers, you know the magic of a well-crafted board. It sets the foundation for everything that follows, capturing the essence of an idea before it becomes reality.

🌫 Silver Blue – A Cool, Collected Classic. 🎨✨
Some colors feel like a quiet moment—a deep breath of crisp air, the reflection of a cloudy sky on water, or the brushed metal of a well-worn tool. This desaturated blue-gray is subtle yet strong, a balance of warmth and coolness that shifts effortlessly between natural and industrial.
At Tone Studio, we don’t just match color—we bring it to life in the finishes that define your product.
✨ Need texture? We can create light, medium, or heavy grain to mimic injection mold surfaces.
✨ Adjusting sheen? We refine gloss levels, from soft matte to high shine.
✨ Exploring materials? We translate this hue into faux clear plastics with varying tint strengths or into faux anodized finishes for a sleek metallic effect.
