Basics

A Group/Company Whose Goal is to Provide a Service Similar to a Pantone Color Matching System but for FDM 3D Printing Filament
Thus a designer, rather than needing to buy and test every single filament of interest can get "Sample Cards" (akin to Color Chips / Color Swatches / Paint Strips etc) of whole types of filament
Thus can make this aspect of the design process easier and/or cheaper

Even if not buying their product, a similar system can be done, and have the same benefits short of cost savings:
- Designers should have access to Infill References , Layer Line References / Nozzle Size References
  - (There are many models for these on file sharing sites like Thingiverse , Thangs , and Printables etc
- A Color Matching System is a great aspect of overall Quality Control
