THE ISSUE
Hampton Gray and Cool White are the old standby colors that many modular manufacturers and lessors / sellers go back to for two reasons: they’re easy to find and it they’re cheap. Hampton Gray, Cool White, and a smattering of other colors – Calcutta Tan and Looma Beige have been around for ages and have served their purpose well. But are they past their prime? Is change in the air? EZ Systems feels it is time for a change.
Change is never easy, no matter what the reason. But sometimes, things go out of style, or become more difficult to source, or maybe it’s just time. Sourcing several vinyl colors is becoming a bit of a challenge; demand is off, resulting in reduced or eliminated production. Calcutta Tan is an example of this. While some suppliers still have ample inventory on hand, others are running out. Even as their demand is waining, it is still there and customers still need to be serviced. Buying from sister companies or competitors who have inventory works in the short term, but isn’t a solid resolution. Sooner or later, inventory as a whole will cease to exist. Cost of shipping those resources from point A to point B is costly, too.
Inconsistencies in colors and patterns can become an issue, too. Dye lots vary from batch to batch, just like in carpeting, paint, and stains. One manufacturers Cool White is likely to be similar, but not quite an exact match to another. One Hampton Gray may have a horizontal pattern, another vertical. These nuances affect quality and ambiance.
Doors are another issue. Are two types of oak and three types of dark walnut practical?
