Color is a science & color must be informed in a scientific way when told to dye a fabric

Few facts about colors

-Color when seen in difference devices, show differently depending upon device color setting,  resolution etc
-Color may  show differently when the light in which it is seen is different like tube light or day light.
-When you say 1 tone lighter,  it might be 2 tone lighter for me or my dyer & different meaning for another person. It may have a different meaning to your customer. It is very difficult to measure & there always remains some room for confusion

As dyeing of fabric is lengthy process & involves cost,   color must be informed in a scientific way for fabric dyeing  like

1) Pantone  no. as seen physically & not on computer or mobile device
2) By giving fabric cutting for matching
3) As far as possible, please inform light source in which fabric matching will be seen

For larger quantities orders, getting developed lab-dips (small fabric cutting) in exact color is a good idea.
