When Coloro recently launched its unique color feasibility intelligence to the fashion and textile industry to illustrate achievable colors, it included Avient’s range of standard colorants to match its colors into the dope-dyeing process.
This is where dope-dyeing and Avient’s colorant technology, along with Coloro’s colors, can help.
Coloro is the future of color.
