Archroma, a Switzerland-based global leader in colour and specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, has announced that the 4,320 colour references of its Color Atlas library have been selected by Shima Seiki and integrated into their ‘Sds-One Apex’ series of software for the design, planning and virtual sampling of textile and apparel. 
 
Shima Seiki is a leading provider of digitally optimised solutions for the fashion industry, who combines its on-demand ‘WholeGarment’ knitting machine with realistic virtual sampling. Based on actual yarn data, fabric simulations generated on the Sds-One Apex-series are unparalleled in quality and realism. Design and simulation are available for knits and various other textile applications, and smooth transition to machine programming is possible for quick and accurate design-to-manufacture interface. That is where the Color Atlas by Archroma will considerably benefit to the users of Shima Seiki’s solutions. 
 
The Color Atlas was launched in 2016 to provide fashion designers and stylists with off the shelf colour inspiration that can be implemented in production with just a few clicks. 
 
The Color Atlas continues to evolve in line with Archroma’s commitment to sustainability through innovation. The company describes it as “The Archroma Way to a sustainable world: safe, efficient, enhanced, it’s our nature”. All colour references available in the Color Atlas have been formulated with products that comply with leading international ecostandards, and can be selected based on the desired sustainability profile. 
 
Today, the Color Atlas contains 4,320 colours applicable on cotton poplin, almost the double compared to similar tools available to textile and fashion specialists. Technical support is available to designer, manufacturers, as well as brands and retailers, through Archroma’s global offices for every single colour from its selection to its implementation in production. Engineered colour standards empowered by NFC technology are also available for all colours and reproducible in production. 
 
With this new collaboration, the users of the Sds-One Apex design software of Shima Seiki will have at their disposal 4320 colours that they can visualise, evaluate and implement, in a considerably accelerated process from the first creative idea to the production to the final outlet, whether online or in brick-and-mortar shops. 
 
“Accurate colour evaluation and communication are very important issues for design work,” Hideya Ohtani, general manager, graphic system development division, at Shima Seiki, said in a press release. “We have high expectations for Archroma's Color Atlas to help our Apex series users develop their products in an even more smooth and accurate manner. “
 
“We are proud to bring our Color Atlas library to the users of Shima Seiki’s extremely advanced design software,” Chris Hipps, head of Color management services, at the Archroma Brand Studio, said. “Designers and users of the software will have at their disposal not only colour options they never had before but also colours that they can trust will be implementable right away. That’s what we strive to do at Archroma: create a new way of working: safe, efficient and enhanced. It’s our nature!”
