Color Charts & Catalogs
Color charts and catalogs
Every color chart, film selector and product catalog we publish, in one place. Use the charts to specify a color before you order, and the selectors to work out which film belongs on which job.
A word on screen color. No chart on a monitor is a color match. Screens vary, ambient light varies, and vinyl has gloss and texture that a screen cannot show. For anything where the color has to be right, order a physical color card or a sample before you commit to a production run. Call 903-462-7700 and we will tell you what is available for the film you are specifying.
Vinyl color charts
By ORACAL series
ORACAL numbers the film, not the color, so start from the series that suits the job and then pick the color within it.
| Series | What it is | Shop |
|---|---|---|
| ORACAL 631 | Removable calendered, matte. Indoor graphics, wall lettering, stencils. | 631 |
| ORACAL 641 | Economy calendered, medium term. | 641 |
| ORACAL 651 | Permanent calendered, gloss. The general-purpose sign and decal film. | 651 · 651 matte |
| ORACAL 751 | High performance cast, long term. | 751 |
| ORACAL 951 | Premium cast, longest term, vehicle and fleet lettering. | 951 |
| ORACAL 8500 / 8800 | Translucent films for backlit cabinets and channel letters. | translucent films |

Color matching and reference

Charts tell you what color to ask for. Profiles are what make your printer produce it. If a print is not matching, the problem is almost always the profile rather than the chart. See drivers, manuals and downloads.
