I’m very interested to read about SKUs and find out how the color number incorporates with them!

In the company that I work for, we use Black-001, White-100, Red-200, Yellow-400, and Blue-600, Brown-900. Color variations within the main 6 colors are given codes depending on their main color family, like Pink-299, Purple-699. The problem is that we are running out of color codes. We use Panotone color standards, but everytime Pantone has a variation on a color we’ve already assigned a code to, we issue a new code, and color name.

This may not post since I am doing two in a row, but I will try:
Most numbers I deal with from my suppliers have the color number written after a slash like:
12001/01
..rather than trying to “incorporate” the color number into the actual item number (1200101, etc)
