To ensure color accuracy, please contact a Avient representative for a sample. C.I. numbers refer to the Color Index, the industry’s standard guide. • In each pair of color chips, the left sample represents the masstone or full shade, which is the color hue in clear media. • The chip on the right shows the relative tint strength using 10 parts TiO2.
