Send a reference. We match before bulk.

Most planner briefs arrive as a moodboard, a swatch, or a Pantone code. FauxHQ rebuilds the palette stem-by-stem, ships a physical sample, and only produces bulk after written approval.

Accepted references

Start from the material your buyer actually has.

We do not need a finished floral spec to begin. The matching brief can start from any reliable colour reference, then we translate it into stems, fillers and production samples.

01

Pantone / RAL / hex

Use when the client already has a formal colour system or brand palette.

02

Fabric or ribbon

Best for bridesmaid dresses, table linen, stage drape and branded ribbon.

03

Photo reference

Useful for venue interiors, moodboards, flowers, objects and past installs.

04

Existing product

Use a FauxHQ SKU as the base, then shift colour, finish, density or scale.

Process

Four steps from reference to production run.

The goal is simple: remove colour risk before bulk. Each stage creates a tangible approval point for buyers, planners and studios.

Common questions

Colour risk gets handled before bulk.

Can FauxHQ match from a phone photo?

Yes, but fabric, Pantone or physical swatches are more reliable. For photos, include the lighting context and any object that anchors the colour.

Is every product customisable?

Most are. Dense installations, garlands and bouquets offer the widest range. Some delicate stems have stricter material limits.

Can a buyer approve remotely?

Yes. We photograph the sample in daylight and ship the physical sample for final approval before bulk production.

Does custom colour change MOQ?

Accent shifts can stay inside normal mixed-product MOQ. Full palette runs may require a quoted production minimum.

Send the reference and the scene.

Include Pantone, fabric, photo or a product link in the inquiry form. The next version will route this into the Worker and Sanity inquiry record.
