Browser-based CMF (colour, material, finish) spec sheet builder with Pantone-aware colour input, material autocomplete, editable swatches and Excel export. Built and hosted by us.
Why we recommend it
CMF specs usually end up in scattered spreadsheets and screenshots that drift out of sync with the actual samples. This keeps colour, material and finish on the same row and exports a table a factory or vendor can use directly.
Strengths
- Free with no account, runs entirely in your browser. Pantone-aware colour input, material autocomplete with matching base colours, editable cells and swatches after generation, row reordering, and one-click Excel (CSV/XLSX) export.
Drawbacks
- A formatting tool, not a materials database — the material list is not exhaustive and Pantone matching is visual, not calibrated against a physical fan deck. No cloud save: the sheet lives in your browser until exported, and there is no versioning if a spec changes after a vendor already has a copy.
