Recolouring is not colour replacement
Swapping a hex value is straightforward. Recolouring a print so the new palette holds the same contrast, keeps the motif legible and still reads as the same design is not — it is a judgement about relationships between colours, not about individual ones.
Working from editable artwork rather than a flat export is what makes that judgement reversible.
Judge it on the product
A palette that works on a swatch can fail on a garment, where scale, drape and fabric all change how colour reads. Seeing the recoloured version on the finished shape — as a ghost, a flatlay or on a model — is what makes an approval mean something.
Carried through
An approved recolour becomes a colorway with its own instructions in the tech pack, so the factory receives the palette that was signed off.
