High quality design and color harmony lend a competitive advantage in today's automotive industry. Now more than ever, brand image is a key element for OEM's to differentiate themselves from competitors in an industry increasingly faced with multi-faceted challenges such as globalization and shorter product life cycles.

Automotive manufacturers and their suppliers face challenges in maintaining color harmony, such as shipping physical standards to global suppliers for comparison to ensure they match across the supply chain.
