I want a doormat with a logo, but how do I choose the right colors?
Index
Choosing the right color for a logo-printed doormat online at Olivo.pro may seem like a simple step, but when designing rugs for a professional space, this aspect requires the utmost attention. The right shade of a mat, in fact, helps define the atmosphere of a space, enhances a company’s visual identity, and can become a distinctive feature—especially when it comes to solutions like custom logo mats.
When purchasing custom entryway mats online, however, choosing the color can present some challenges. One of the most common issues is the perception of color: the color we see on a computer screen, smartphone, or tablet doesn’t always match the product’s actual color exactly.
Why might the color of a custom rug look different on a screen?
A rug’s color rendering depends not only on the fiber used and its composition, but also on various external factors. Every screen—whether it’s a computer, smartphone, or tablet—has different settings: brightness, contrast, and calibration can all alter how we perceive color. The fiber itself can also influence the final result. The structure of the yarn, the density of the rug, and the way light hits the surface can create slight variations in the perceived shade.
For this reason, relying solely on an image seen online may not be enough to choose the perfect color and customize doormats, especially when the rug needs to fit into a specific design or match specific corporate colors.
Olivo.pro's assistance in choosing colors for logo rugs
At Olivo.pro, we know how important it is to guide customers in choosing the right color for their logo-printed doormat. That’s why we strive to minimize any differences between what’s displayed online and the actual result. Through our sales department, we send images and videos that accurately reflect the color swatch, so customers have a reference that’s as close to reality as possible—rather than just a screen display.
But that’s not all: if we’ve already produced a mat of similar dimensions and in the same desired shade, we also send a photograph of the finished product. Seeing the color applied to an actual surface gives you an even more precise idea of the final result.
Finally, subject to availability in stock, we send a sample of the desired color so you can evaluate the material in person, observing its shade and how it appears in the light of the space where it will be installed.
Color variations in logo-printed doormats of different sizes
Another important aspect to consider is color tolerance. Even when choosing the same color code, slight differences may occur between custom doormats of different sizes ordered online.
In fact, a larger mat—for example, one that’s 3 meters long—may appear slightly different from a smaller size, such as 60×85 cm. This happens because the fibers are distributed differently across the surface, which can create varying shades depending on the amount of material present and the direction of the yarn.
For this reason, it’s important to factor in an approximate tolerance of +/- 3% in color rendering. This is not a product defect, but a natural characteristic related to the manufacturing process and the very structure of custom logo mats.
An example? The "Outside" outdoor rug
Special attention should be given to the “Outside” model , the logo-embossed doormat designed for outdoor use. This product features a unique yarn composition: its filaments have a transparent nylon tip that tends to slightly lighten the base color. This effect is particularly noticeable in the anthracite gray shade, which, on larger custom logo mats, may appear visually as a medium gray.
Understanding these characteristics before making a purchase allows you to choose a color with greater confidence and achieve a result that meets your expectations.
Pre-production consulting
Choosing the right color is a crucial step, especially for customized products like a logo-printed doormat, where the mat not only serves a practical purpose but also becomes an integral part of the company’s image.
For this reason, at Olivo.pro, we consider sales consulting a central part of our service. Every day, we work to find new solutions that help our customers choose the most suitable color, guiding them step by step through the process of designing their custom logo doormat.
Because a doormat is much more than just a surface to walk on: it’s the first detail that welcomes those entering a space. And choosing the right color means enhancing the environment, conveying professionalism, and creating an experience consistent with the company’s identity.
