It can sound very easy to do but some people don’t know how to be descriptive in this important way. If you wanted a flyer design background to be blue you would say “I want the background of the flyer to be blue.” And some people are not that picky of what blue they are looking for and they are happy with any kind of blue because they trust your judgement. But if the client had something else in mind and they say “Just like the blue that shows up on my monitor” then this can be very confusing.
How would you say the colours you want and how do you do follow up questions to their statement? They are looking at the flyer on their monitor but most people nowadays are not in front of a computer monitor. They are in front of a smart phone or tablet doing light work or just answering emails. Every monitor is different with different factory settings. Your phone screen’s colours are not the same has your computer screen.
HEX Code is something free and often used on this website because it is the web safe colours in a specified code. For this combination code to be used you’ll need the screen or monitor to match the colours. The guarantee of accuracy depends on your computer screen’s calibration or factory settings.
The other alternative would be bring the designer a printed product or item so that they can colour match to it. This is more of a guaranteed colour match to have because there won’t be issues with the monitor, and CMYK to RGB conversions.
