Choose A Color
Select a shade to open its verified GraduationSource collection. Blue and green shades share their established family collection pages.
Find Your Shade
Color names are useful starting points. Fabric, finish, lighting and display settings can all affect how a shade appears.
Navy is the deepest option, Royal is the bolder mid-blue, and Sky is the lightest of the three.
Emerald presents as the brighter green, while Forest has a deeper and more muted appearance.
Color accuracy: On-screen swatches are directional only. Schools should approve physical samples when a precise color match matters.
Shop By Graduation Level
Color is one decision. Age, degree level, sizing, package contents and ceremony needs determine the right collection.

Choose The Finish
Matte fabric has a softer, lower-reflection appearance. Shiny fabric reflects more light and creates a brighter ceremonial look. Photography, stage lighting and your school's existing garments can all influence the decision.
Availability differs by product, color and size. Verify that the intended cap, gown and replacement pieces use the same finish before coordinating a group.

Complete The Decision
Once the shade and finish are selected, check product-specific fit guidance and coordinate accessories around the cap and gown.
Use the size guidance for the exact product you plan to order.
Use color intentionally across the cap, gown and supporting recognition pieces. Similar color names may look different across fabric, satin, cord and metal materials, so review each product instead of assuming an exact match.
For school programs, confirm the color and finish before coordinating accessories or planning for late additions and replacements.

Color Planning Guide
A coordinated program starts with the right questions. Use these steps to narrow the choice without turning a commercial decision into a long research project.
Choose the closest color family, then review the current products available in that collection. A shared color name does not mean every style, finish or size will be available, so keep the product page as the source of truth.
Navy, Royal and Sky Blue can serve very different visual roles, as can Emerald and Forest Green. Device settings and room lighting introduce more variation. When matching school identity is important, compare physical fabric rather than approving a CSS swatch.
Matte and shiny materials reflect light differently, which affects how the color appears in person and in photography. Verify that the cap, gown and any replacement garments use the intended finish across the coordinated group.
Review the product-specific size guidance before committing a group to a particular style. Planning for the full range early helps schools make an informed program decision and reduces avoidable fit questions later.

Questions Before You Order
Clear answers to common questions about color, fabric, sizing and coordinated school orders.
GraduationSource's Shop By Color hub features Black, Brown, Emerald Green, Forest Green, Gold, Maroon, Navy Blue, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Royal Blue, Silver, Sky Blue and White. Product, size and finish availability varies within each collection.
Navy is the deepest blue, Royal has a brighter and more saturated appearance, and Sky is the lightest. Screen settings and fabric finish affect how each looks, so schools should compare physical samples before approving a precise match.
Emerald Green has a brighter, jewel-toned appearance, while Forest Green appears deeper and more muted. Both are grouped in the Green collection; request samples when a precise school match matters.
Yes. GraduationSource's free Ceremony Planning Kit includes a cap, gown and tassel sample, shiny and matte fabric swatches, diploma-cover swatches, a sample diploma, and catalog and ordering material.
A shared color name does not guarantee the finish will look identical in every setting. Matte reflects less light, while shiny appears more reflective. Compare fabric swatches and verify availability for the intended product set.
Use the guidance for the selected product and the GraduationSource size chart. Measure from the floor to the top of the head, then follow the applicable height and weight guidance.
Start with the selected cap-and-gown collection, then review tassels, cords, stoles and other accessories. Verify each product's current shade, finish and availability rather than assuming the same color name will match across different materials.
Request a free Ceremony Planning Kit to compare a cap, gown and tassel sample plus shiny and matte fabric swatches in person.
