Custom Color
The custom coloration of Level designs is our most commonly requested service. It affords you unmatched flexibility to coordinate the colors of your mural with your space and is a cost-effective way of creating a one-of-a-kind mural installation.
When specifying custom colors, there are a few guidelines to consider which contribute toward a pain-free process and a successful result:
Custom color references can come from various sources ranging from paint chips and fabric swatches to flooring tiles and wood veneers, and everything in between. While many of these are all acceptable forms of reference material, they are not all equal in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Several forms of color reference are preferable to the rest, and we refer to these as Level-Safe Colors. Because they are integrated into our printer’s calibration settings, when used as the target colors, Level-Safe Colors can significantly increase the likelihood of a stronger match (in some cases, a 90-100% color match). Likewise, Level-Safe Colors are a faster and more efficient way to customize color than using other forms of reference.
Several commonly available color sets qualify as Level-Safe Colors:
Ask your Surface Materials Sales Representative for specific information regarding these color sets.

Please Note:
Due to individual computer monitor and printer limitations, we do not recommend making your final color selections from the digital swatches on this page, nor any printouts of color from this page. For an accurate sample of our colors, you must request official pages of the Level Color Book from your Surface Materials sales representative!
Various artistic effects are inherent in some designs, and your final choice of substrate can alter the way custom colors appear when printed. And due to individual computer monitor and printer limitations, colors seen on digital mockups may not accurately reflect actual printed colors. For an accurate sample of your custom color, you must order a Strike-Off.
Level color tolerances meet or exceed generally accepted digital print industry standards. The Level production staff makes every attempt to achieve the colors that you request as closely as possible within the current limitations of technology. Level inspects all finished products under specific color-correct lighting conditions (Daylight, 5000 degrees Kelvin, D50 bulbs).
Each Level design features either solid or tonal colors (see individual design pages). Solid Color designs feature relatively solid, opaque colors, which lend themselves to customization, so custom colors will, therefore, mostly reproduce as expected. Tonal Color designs primarily feature colors that are textured, layered, transparent, or tonal in nature. As a result, custom colors will likely not reproduce as a 100% match to a solid color reference swatch. Ask your sales representative for more information.
