The latest color offering by the Color Guild, Color Is... features 1320 colors chosen particularly for the you, the discerning consumer. In this most comprehensive color range you'll find a large selection of off whites and neutrals, classic colors and the latest in complex and sophisticated shades.
You'll find it easy to locate your favorite because the palette is organized by color family. Rather than being laid out in the traditional rainbow pattern, this system takes advantage of a zigzag pattern that creates a visual interest and draws you into color space. But don't worry, even in this innovative zigzag design, the colors flow in the same manner as a color wheel. So you'll be able to spot your favorite color quickly and easily.
The pivot point of the system places the brightest and most chromatic colors at the center of the display. As you work your way outward toward the end of the display, colors become less chromatic or more muted. The bottom level is reserved for the neutrals versions of all of these families and is separated warm on the left and cool on the right.
Color tools include take home chips, a fan deck, an album and an architect or designer kit.
Colorizer...
It is arranged in a logical sequence following chromatic progression from left to right in what we call rainbow order. The colors are organized in saturation levels by row with the brightest chromas found in row one, slightly muted in row 2, more muted in row 3 followed by dusty and then neutral colors. One column in the display is one color family. This type of alignment puts color families together for ease in selecting monochromatic colors but also assists in selecting adjacent or related colors to the left and right of each family.
The Colorizer system offers more color than most other contemporary paint color systems. The Colorizer color tools are particularly helpful to professional painters, architects, color designers and retail consumers.
The Colorizer 1320 color palette has 60 Lighter Off Whites and 60 Bolder Accents not usually available in most other color systems. The remaining 1200 colors are shown in an 8 step letdowns from an off white to an accent.
Colorizer color tools consist of Color Chips, Fan decks, Architect Kits, and Color Albums.
