The cost of sampling
Samples and photo shoots cost money, and the weeks of waiting slow every sale. Color Engines lets you see the carpet in 3D first, so you make far fewer samples and get to the sale sooner.

Try your own numbers
Every physical sample costs money and weeks of waiting. Compare what your business spends on samples today with what 3D sampling could save. The starting numbers are published industry figures; swap in your own. An illustration, not a promise.
Starting figures: about $50 per running-line sample and $150 per custom sample (BuildingGreen, 2005). Use your own costs. Final physical approval still happens; savings depend on how many samples you actually skip.
Our engines
Each engine picks up where the last one left off, so there are fewer samples, fewer redraws and less waiting. Use all three together, one at a time, or alongside the tools you already have.
For carpet & textile mills
Design, recolor and preview carpet from your own production files, built tuft by tuft.
How it helps: fewer physical samples, and decisions made sooner. See new colors and patterns in 3D, in the yarns you can order, before anything is tufted.
For paint & finish brands
Your brand's own color expert. Suggests your colors that go together, on a photo of your customer's room.
How it helps: less color guesswork. Customers explore your colors in a room before they ask for a sample.
For designers, dealers & showrooms
The room visualizer. Show the finished room, not a swatch.
How it helps: fewer photo setups. Show every colorway in a room, ready for customers, catalogs and websites.

Color science, in plain words
Daylight, showroom light and a dim hallway each change how a color reads. Luma lights the 3D sample the way you choose, so you see the difference before you commit.
Pick a color and Luma finds the closest yarns in your own catalog.
Light, surroundings and nearby colors all change how a color looks. The engines are designed with that in mind.
