Shop Colour Charts by Brand

Browse by brand to find the right colour reference for your project: Swarovski colour charts covering the complete Swarovski crystal palette including Crystal AB, metallic, opal and special effects finishes; Serinity colour charts for the full 150+ colour range from Bluestreak Crystals' own Austrian-made brand; and Preciosa colour charts for the complete MAXIMA flatback and bead range in Czech-made crystal.

What Crystal Colour Charts Are Available?

Bluestreak Crystals offers colour charts in two formats across all three brands.

Digital colour charts are available free of charge and provide on-screen colour references for Swarovski, Serinity and Preciosa across flatbacks, beads, pearls and pendants. They allow confident colour selection when ordering online without needing physical samples in hand. Digital charts are the quickest way to compare colours across brands side by side and are updated when new colours and effects are added to each range.

Physical colour chart boards are available for Preciosa and provide a tactile, true-colour reference for professional use in the studio or salon. Physical boards show the actual crystal in natural light, eliminating any screen calibration variables that can affect digital colour matching. They are a popular choice for professional embellishers, costume designers and nail technicians who work with crystals daily and need a reliable hands-on reference.

Why Use a Crystal Colour Chart?

Crystal colours vary significantly between brands and even between product types within the same brand. A colour named Sapphire in one brand will differ in tone and intensity from Sapphire in another. Effects including AB (Aurora Borealis), metallic coatings, opal effects and shimmer finishes create additional variation that is difficult to assess from a product name alone. Using a colour chart before ordering eliminates guesswork, reduces the risk of ordering the wrong shade and ensures all stones in a project match consistently.

Colour charts are particularly valuable for large-scale projects including garment embellishment, theatrical costume, bridal work and nail art where colour consistency across hundreds or thousands of individual crystals is essential. They are also the recommended starting point before purchasing from our sample pack service, which allows you to test individual colours in the sizes you need before committing to a full order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crystal colour chart? ▾
A crystal colour chart is a visual reference tool showing the full crystal colour range for a specific brand, typically organised across flatbacks, beads, pearls and pendants. Charts allow buyers to see, compare and confidently select colours before placing an order, reducing the risk of ordering the wrong shade and ensuring colour consistency across a project. Bluestreak Crystals provides digital colour charts for Swarovski, Serinity and Preciosa free of charge, alongside physical colour chart boards for Preciosa.
Are crystal colour charts accurate to the actual crystals? ▾
Digital colour charts are produced from the actual crystals under controlled lighting conditions and provide highly accurate colour references. However, screen calibration on different devices can cause subtle variations in how digital colours display. Physical colour chart boards eliminate this variable by showing the actual crystals in natural light, making them the most accurate reference for professional colour matching. For absolute confidence on a specific colour, order a sample pack to test the crystal in your hand before committing to a full order.
What's the difference between digital and physical colour charts? ▾
Digital colour charts are on-screen colour references available free of charge for instant access, ideal for quick colour selection and side-by-side brand comparison. Physical colour chart boards are physical reference cards with the actual crystals mounted, providing a tactile, true-colour reference under any lighting conditions. Digital is the right choice for occasional use and online ordering; physical boards are the standard for professional embellishers, salons and studios where crystal colour referencing happens daily.
Do colours match between Swarovski, Serinity and Preciosa? ▾
Colour names are similar across the three brands but the actual shades vary subtly. A colour called Sapphire in Swarovski will differ slightly in tone and intensity from Sapphire in Serinity or Preciosa, and the same applies across other named colours including Light Siam, Crystal AB, Emerald and Topaz. Effects including AB coatings, opal effects and shimmer also vary in finish and intensity between brands. For projects requiring precise colour matching across brands within a single design, use the colour charts to compare side by side and order sample packs of the specific colours you intend to use before committing to a full order.
How do I read a crystal colour chart? ▾
Crystal colour charts typically display each colour as a swatch with the colour name and reference code. Colours are usually grouped by family (reds, blues, greens, etc.) or by effect type (core colours, AB variations, metallic, opal, shimmer). Look for your target shade within the relevant family, note the exact colour name, then search that colour name on the product collection page to find it available in your required size and product type.
Can I get a free crystal colour chart? ▾
Yes. Bluestreak Crystals provides free digital colour charts for Swarovski, Serinity and Preciosa, available to browse and download from our colour guides page. Physical colour chart boards are available to purchase for buyers wanting a permanent professional reference tool in the studio or salon.
How often are crystal colour charts updated? ▾
Digital colour charts are updated when each brand releases new colours, effects or seasonal Innovations, typically twice a year (spring/summer and autumn/winter for Swarovski) or as new lines are introduced for Serinity and Preciosa. Physical colour chart boards reflect the colour range at the time of production and may require periodic replacement to capture the latest additions to each brand's range.
How quickly can I receive a physical colour chart? ▾
Physical Preciosa colour chart boards dispatch same or next working day on the majority of orders. UK orders typically arrive within 1-2 working days; USA orders within 2 to 5 days via express shipping. Digital colour charts are available instantly via the colour guides page. For tight project deadlines or large bulk orders, contact us directly at hello@bluestreakcrystals.com to confirm stock and dispatch timing.
