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 US and global 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 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.
  • Photographs will vary in color across monitors.
  • Supplier fur color may change between batches. We will let you know when we are aware a batch color has changed, however 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.
  • We do not work from AI-generated media. Please produce character references yourself, or commission an artist.

To order one, you can either....
  • Send an email to mantacraftstudios@gmail.com
  • DM us on twitter
