The colour promise

The red you see is the red that arrives

Silk reflects light instead of absorbing it, which is why online silk so often lands browner, flatter or more yellow than the photo. We shoot every saree at 5000K against an 18% grey card and correct to the card, not to taste.

Drag the handle. Left is the frame we publish. Right is the same cloth under ordinary house light — the difference is what the grey card removes.
