colour swatches for woodstains

[chunkolini]

Hi can anybody help me with this one. I run a website making custom media storage units. I am trying to find a colour swatch I can upload to help customers make a choice of finish. I have thought of photographing the one in my local hardware store but this seems a bit amatuerish, anybody go any ideas. Have a look at www.coolshelving.com to see what I do.

many thanks, Alan.

Have you thought of making your own.
Often the available swatches don't neccesarily match to the materials you are using.
I have several swatches in various timbers, veneers and finishes which I show clients.
e.g. A.White Oak, Walnut stain, satin varnish and so on.

Hi Domvalente, I have pondered this one, and may well end up taking this route, photo's show things better than downloads, I have a fair selection of stains in the workshop. But I was hoping to avoid the extra faffing about.

Then again I must look professional. if I get my finger out I will post here for second opinions.
