Step 1: When is Custom Color Matching Your Best Bet?Our custom color-matching service is ideal for a variety of situations, ensuring your items receive the precise care they deserve: 

  • Unique or Rare Colors: For those stunning, hard-to-find shades that simply aren't available in off-the-shelf products.

Our goal isn't just to match the color perfectly; it's to provide you with the right type of care product formulated for your specific material and needs, ensuring both beauty and longevity.III. Step 2: The Magic is in the Photo – How to Capture Your Item’s True ColorOur color experts rely on your photos to work their magic – a clear, accurate photo is the crucial first step to achieving that perfect match. Don't worry, you don't need to be a professional photographer! Just follow these simple tips: 

  • Lighting is Key: Natural daylight is your best friend. Take your photos near a window or outdoors on an overcast day, avoiding direct, harsh sunlight or deep shadows. Artificial indoor lighting can significantly alter color perception, and please, no flash!
  • Clean Surface (If Possible): If it's safe for the material, gently clean the area you want to match. Ensure it's completely dry before photographing. This helps us see the true color without interference from dust or dirt.
  • Multiple Angles: Sometimes, color can appear slightly different depending on the angle and how light hits the surface. Providing a couple of shots from different perspectives can be very helpful.
  • Include a White Reference (Optional Pro Tip): For the most accurate color assessment, place a plain white piece of paper next to the item in one of your shots. This gives our experts a neutral reference point for color balance.
  • Focus and Clarity: Ensure your photos are clear, sharp, and in focus, especially on the area whose color you want us to match.

IV. Step 3: Placing Your Order – It’s Easier Than You Think!Ready to start? Getting your custom-matched product is a straightforward process. 

  1. Head to Our Service Page: You can begin your journey to a perfect color match right here: [Link to https://custom.mavistep.com/en/indyvidualnyi-pidbir-koloru-zasobiv-mavi-step-custom/]
  2. Select Your Base Product: Once on the page, you'll typically select a base product type that's designated for custom coloring (e.g., "Custom Color Cream," "Custom Dye for Leather," or similar – the specific product will guide you). This tells us the general kind of product you're looking for.
  3. Add to Cart & Checkout: Add your selected base item to your cart and proceed to checkout.
  4. The Vital Step – Submitting Your Photos: During the checkout process, or as instructed on the product page (sometimes it might be via email reply to your order confirmation), you'll be prompted or given instructions on how to upload/send the photos of your item you took in Step 2.
  5. Tell Us More: When you submit your photos, provide any helpful details in the notes section of your order or in your email. This includes:  
    • The type of material (if you know it – e.g., "smooth calfskin," "suede," "canvas textile").
    • What you're trying to achieve (e.g., "cover a small scuff on the toe," "refresh the overall color of a faded handbag," "match the color for a new leather project").
    • Any specific areas of concern or unique characteristics of the item.

V. Step 4: What Happens Next? The Mavistep Experts Get to Work!Once your order is placed and we've received your photos and information, our skilled team takes over to create your bespoke color solution: 

  • Expert Photo Analysis: Our color specialists meticulously examine your photographs, taking into account the material, your notes, and the lighting conditions evident in the images.
  • Precision Color Formulation: Using their extensive experience, and often referencing comprehensive color systems (like NCS) as a foundation, they precisely mix high-quality pigments to create your unique shade. This isn't just about picking a close color; it's about formulating it.
  • Choosing the Optimal Product Type: This is crucial. We don't just match the color; we also ensure the type of product (be it a conditioning cream for gentle color restoration, a penetrating dye for deeper color changes, or a protective balm with a hint of tint) is perfectly suited to your item’s material and your specific restoration or care goals.
  • Custom Preparation: Your custom-tailored product is then carefully prepared, quality-checked, and packaged for you.

VI. Step 5: The Big Reveal – Receiving and Using Your Custom ProductImagine the satisfaction of unboxing a care product created just for you and your treasured item! It’s a product designed to bring it back to life or keep it looking its absolute best. 

  • We generally include simple application tips with your custom product. However, it's always a good practice to test any color product on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure you're happy with the result and the product's interaction with the material.
  • Enjoy the process of caring for your item and the delight of seeing it perfectly restored or beautifully maintained with a flawless, custom-matched finish.
  • (Optional: We love seeing your success stories! Feel free to share your results with us on social media using #MavistepCustom or by sending us an email.)
