The Online
Auction Color Chart |
| The New Language of Color for Buyers and Sellers! |
The Online Auction Color Chart® is used throughout the United States and in Canada, Mexico, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, France, Switzerland, Spain, Finland, China, South Korea, Thailand, Brazil, and other countries.
The Online Auction Color Chart® is particular popular among eBay and other online auction users. Those who sell and buy fabric, upholstery, bedding, draperies and rugs are among our most prominent clients. The OAC is also used by amateur and professional interior decorators, wedding planners, photographers and scientists.
Using the OAC
Sellers
1. Use OAC color labels in your item descriptions. For example, in addition to describing a roll of fabric as dark red and blue-green, a seller could specify the material is similar to oac580 and oac202 - particular shades of dark red and blue-green in the Online Auction Color Chart.
2. Send Online Auction Color Charts to potential buyers who want specific information about the color of items you have for sale.
3. Enclose Online Auction Color Charts with outgoing purchases so your customers can verify the color of other merchandise you have available. For sellers who provide Online Auction Color Charts to their customers, the enclosure can be printed to read, "This Online Auction Color Chart is a FREE gift from XYZ Company."
Buyers
1.Send Online Auction Color Charts® to sellers to verify the color of items before bidding or buying. For example, if you are interested in purchasing a new living room set, but want to make sure the color will match your decor, send the seller an Online Auction Color Chart and ask them to indicate which OAC colors are in the furniture.
2. Ask sellers to describe items using OAC color labels when seeking to obtain more information about the color of merchandise.
