About this edition

Two hundred entries, each a colour with a history — the pink that named a decade, the blue a government rationed, the green that came from a laboratory accident. Every entry carries its formula on uncoated stock so you can hold it against the page you are designing. Printed in six inks; the swatch run is the reason this edition weighs what it does.

“A colour only means something when you know what it cost.”
