Színtétel

Színtétel is a Hungarian term used primarily in design, printing and manufacturing to denote a discrete color element within a larger color system. The word is formed from szín, meaning color, and tétel, meaning item or entry. In practice, a színtétel refers to a single color specification within a palette or color catalog—often identified by a name or code—and used to reproduce a particular hue in materials such as printed matter, textiles or digital media.

In printing and graphic production, the concept of a színtétel corresponds to a defined color swatch or spot color within a color management workflow. In textiles, product design, and related fields, it can denote a specific color variant of a product line, referenced in orders, catalogs, or production sheets. The term thus serves to distinguish an individual color specification from broader color families or variants.

The usage of színtétel is specialized and can vary by industry and company. Some contexts may prefer terms such as színkód (color code) or színváltozat (color variant) to describe related ideas. Etymologically, the word emphasizes a designated component within a larger color system or specification, reflecting its role in precise color communication and production documentation.
