Afternoon good people,
Following a post on the Prince of Wales thread, it seems some of Colourcoats' range
may need some cross checking and possible update.
That thread is long and has lots of pontification about photographs, so I thought I'd start a new thread to ask what the customers want.
I'll start by stating that I have opinions myself on how we package - e.g. AP507C and G45 will remain separate products, because our customers aren't just you folks and most buy by description to suit a reference. I also don't quite follow AP507A equally AP507B, nor what you want me to do about it. Same goes for Home Fleet Greys etc.
Starting with label descriptions - are you happy with the descriptions? Are they any you feel would be better described alternatively? (specifics are required)
Tin contents - which colours do you believe are inaccurate or misrepresented? (the more specific the better - I can't work from photographs - I'll need L*a*b values, or a physical sample which I can make if a known good recipe is available)
Lastly, timing is important. I'm really not enthusiastic to scrap whole batches. RN02 AP507B has just run out, for example. Now would be a good time to revise it, not just after a fresh batch has been manufactured. We don't have money to waste like that and there are many other colours in the range besides Royal Navy colours which need to be restocked too. Royal Navy colours are amongst our best sellers and are prioritised as such for manufacturing, but I don't want to back out the rest of our range long-term as that will severely restrict our ability to execute some plans.
The floor is yours ...
