## A worked example

Hypothetical decision: a craft paint's lid color differs from its dried test board. The listing shows the actual board with its substrate identified instead of digitally recoloring another sample.

## What this can and cannot decide

A screen image cannot guarantee a physical color match or coating performance. Use a real sample where exact matching matters.
