Default Trouble matching midnight blue carpet and dye

I have had trouble ordering carpet and dye to match my carpet ect... Is there someone else having these problems? The carpet and dye are too light. They don't match up at all. What vendor has the best color matching carpet dye,and paint? Any advice or help is most welcome. :beatdeadhorse: :skep:

Tough problem. Dye lots vary even on new carpet from the same vendor. Carpets fade over time. Spray dye color hues vary too.

I know you can get custom spray vinyl dyes mixed, but I've never heard of custom mixed spray fabric dyes. I'm afraid you're going to have trouble. No vendor sells "better" or "more accurate" dyes because there are so many variables. Chuck
