“Color Match” is an extra piece of solid surface material, that can be used for the repair. This piece is left behind from the original installation. It usually is a cutting board, or sometimes it is a scrap piece left in the garage, or in the sink cabinet. If you don’t have color match material, sometimes we can remove and replace a side splash to obtain color match for a perfect repair to your countertop.
