Color numbers (European standard) combined with descriptive additions such as Rooted, Highlighted, or Meliert. Intuitive and easy to read.

Can I compare Gisela Mayer color numbers with other manufacturers?

Similar numbers can serve as a rough guide — but they are not identical. Color reflection and color depth may vary depending on the manufacturer and fiber material.

What does "Meliert" (mixed/highlighted) mean at Gisela Mayer?

Mottled describes a blend of different color shades — often in tones of gray. The result appears more vibrant than solid gray.
