The olive matched in the swatch book—not in the finished set.

The starting point

Separate components were individually approved but changed the set relationship after assembly.

The development decisions

1. 01

   Review components under one light.

2. 02

   Compare finished garments, not swatches alone.

3. 03

   Control substitutions and repeat lots.

The approval checkpoints

Set-level visual standard and material-specific color references.

For a new project with the same issue, connect these checkpoints to the style reference, sample revision and responsible reviewer. An approval for one garment does not establish the performance of a different material, size or construction.
