How to describe color of garment or fabric, any standard approach?

Question

Any relatively precise, systematic approach to describe a color and pattern of a garment or fabric, so that anyone ordinary person with daily live, ordinary belongings/equipment can identify/match it to the real object? (Say when order or receive the goods)

Answer 1

when possible you should provide a color chart or the photo of the item. when there is no photo or way to provide a color chart then most folks seem to use like color items that a person would be familiar with like it is as red as a Fire truck or green as an apple
