May Arts sources its ribbons from many different manufacturers and suppliers across the globe. Colors across series or families; example: SX series and GN series will not be exact matches. However, colors within series that have multiple widths; example: SX-25 (2.5″),  SX-15 (1.5″), SX-34 (3/4″), and SX-38 (3/8″) are intended to have the same color. The only time this will differ is with the silk series across their different widths since the silks are hand-dyed and different batches may vary slightly due to environmental differences at time of dyeing.

May Arts’ color codes are the last numbers after the series or width indicator.
