Pretty close, but not exactly. There are several reasons for this. One, the materials that we receive from our suppliers vary from lot to lot. Two, our process is as much art as science. Each artisan that works on your plaque has a slightly different “hand” which affects the final outcome. Three, temperature, humidity, and we think, the position of the planets influences the finished product. Four, we change our materials and techniques over time. These changes result in an improved product, but may slightly change the look of the sign or plaque. Five, there are variables in the rendition of the image you see on your computer screen. This starts at our end with photo lighting, the camera used, and how we see the plaque photograph on our own computer screen. On your end, every computer renders color differently. This is normal for uncalibrated home and business computers.
Bottom line one is that you may or may not see differences. Bottom line two is that we can’t do anything about all these variables.
A Note For Multiple Orders. As should be clear from the above paragraphs, it is the nature of hand finishing that no two patinas are exactly alike. However, with multiple orders, care is taken to match tone and texture as closely as possible. Multiple sign orders will match very close provided they are ordered and created all at the same time. Those ordered at different times may have a little variation, however, unless they are placed side by side, you are unlikely to notice.
