The client specifically acknowledges that layouts sent in colour via email are not necessarily a true reflection of the colour but a mere indication of what the product will look like due to the variations in computer monitor colouring. Printing colours will be matched as close as possible to Pantone colours or swatches supplied. Orakel (Ltd) cannot guarantee a 100% colour match due to the different materials used in promotional products.
