What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
Color Mates is a tactile clothing labeling system that uses small, distinctively shaped tags to identify garment colors without needing to see them. Each of the 16 color values is assigned a unique shape, so someone can feel the tag and know whether a shirt is navy, grey, beige, or orange — making it possible to coordinate outfits independently. The kit includes 160 tags total and they're machine washable, so they stay on through regular laundering. This is a complete, self-contained solution — the tags attach directly to clothing and no additional tools or devices are needed, though learning all 16 shape-to-color associations does take some initial memorization.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Attach the appropriately shaped tag to each garment (sewn or pinned). - With a guide
- Use the included color key to match each of the 16 shapes to its corresponding color.
- Label garments systematically — start with one category (e.g., tops) before moving to others to build familiarity with the shape system. Allow 1-2 hours to label a typical wardrobe.
