However, if the fabric has insufficient colour fastness, it may fade, crock or transfer dye onto clothing and nearby materials.<a href=\"https:\/\/solaracontract.com\/?solara_product=modular-event-sofa\">https:\/\/solaracontract.com\/?solara_product=modular-event-sofa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From an international buyer\u2019s perspective, three checks should be completed before production:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Approve the Actual Fabric<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always request a physical fabric sample before confirming the colour. Review it under daylight and the lighting used in the project. Do not approve a colour based only on photographs, screens or colour codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Request Available Test Reports<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask the fabric supplier or furniture factory for any available colour-fastness test reports. Where possible, the report should relate to the selected fabric construction and colour, rather than being a general report for a different material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Test the Bulk Fabric Before Production<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Require the factory to conduct an internal colour-fastness check when the bulk fabric arrives and before cutting begins. The factory should check dry and wet rubbing with a white cloth and compare the bulk fabric with the approved sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If visible dye transfer, fading or shade variation is found, production should be placed on hold until the fabric supplier provides a solution. These checks reduce the risk of colour problems being discovered after the finished furniture has been delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/solaracontract.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260814171058_46_1-650x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-123\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6347766139613494;width:232px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solaracontract.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260814171058_46_1-650x1024.png 650w, https:\/\/solaracontract.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260814171058_46_1-190x300.png 190w, https:\/\/solaracontract.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u56fe\u7247_20260814171058_46_1.png 699w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bold, saturated colours such as red, green and purple can create a strong visual result.
