Why Don't Product Colors Match What I See on my Screen?

We do our best to portray all of our products as accurately as possible, but the colors of our custom leathers and upholstery may differ slightly in person from how they appear online. This is due to disparities in display devices. Colors typically appear brighter or more intense when viewed on a screen, and images can also vary from screen to screen based on the brightness settings and color calibration of your device. We do our best to ensure that all of our product photos are color calibrated and as accurate as possible. If you are concerned about the color(s) of a particular piece, please give us a call at (817) 490-0082. We are happy to answer all of your questions and will ensure that you are happy with your purchase.
