Rhinestone Colour Chart & Selection Guide
rhinestone color chart buyers need a controlled, practical decision process. A rhinestone is reflective, faceted and affected by its backing. A Pantone value can communicate brand intent, but the approved stone sample remains the production reference.

Ranges include clear, opaque, translucent and coated effects such as AB, metallic or pearl. Availability depends on stone type, size and supplier.
Can rhinestones match Pantone exactly?
Pantone can state brand intent, but a reflective faceted stone does not behave like flat printed ink. Approve a physical reference.
What is AB crystal colour?
AB describes an iridescent surface effect that shifts colour with viewing angle and light.
Why does the same stone look different on fabric?
Garment colour, lighting, foil backing, spacing and nearby colours change perception.
How should colours appear on artwork?
Use a legend with supplier colour code, finish, stone size and artwork symbol.
How do I control reorders?
Keep a retained standard and record the approved component code and material lot.
