Color Match Service

Whether you're a fursuit client wanting to be extra prepared or maker working towards your next project, color matching the right fur and fabrics for a character can be a challenge. (Not to mention the cost of collecting a comprehensive swatch library!)

With our extensive swatch library and international fur-sourcing skills, we can help you find the closest color and length matches to your project.

Whether you want specific fur colors or super-specialty materials like sparkle fur, glow in the dark, or flash-reflective fabric, we'll scour the depths of our swatch library and the international fur market and find the closest matches possible!

Payment is in USD via Paypal, Ko-fi, or Stripe. Other options on request.

Please note....
  • We cannot guarantee an exact match to your specific color as some colors simply don't exist in fur form yet- this service is to find the closest possible colors available.
  • Colors vary across monitors - we view references on a mac, but can also match to pantones and existing color swatches.
  • Supplier fur color may change slightly between batches. This is typical of fur production and out of our control - after our service, we recommend ordering your own swatches from the company for the specific colors you need to see how they appear in person.

To order one, you can either....
  • Use the form at the bottom of this page
  • DM us on twitter
  • Send an email to marshmuart@gmail.com

Color Search Service- $28 per hr session

Matches from our library not quite close enough? Furs not in stock? Need something REALLY special? Take the next step in the search!
Send us out into the wilds of international fur & fabric suppliers and we'll scour through as many high-quality suppliers as we can to find the closest match possible. We'll start by searching the suppliers we know with the largest range and move to more niche suppliers if they don't carry a match. You can purchase more sessions after the first if needed.
  • We'll assemble a search report of where we looked and provide links/images and a supplier list of the closest matches we find
  • Billed by per-hour sessions - can purchase one session at a time as needed
  • Can request specifics such as fur length, supplier country, etc
  • Can search for up to 5 colors per session - less is better as we can be more thorough in our search
