chart to test how colors print. I took colors from designs that printed well, and extended them in various ways in ColorSchemer software. There are some repeat colors here, but not many. I find it very useful. I make a separate layer in the electronic file, and number them for creating palettes in my software programs.

field_rider says: I am buying the swatch which should be helpful to a beginner like me, but I guess I do need some way of identifying the colors. Is that the file you are mentioning?

thatswho says: Another thing...I'll email the original file to anyone who wants it. If you're buying it, it won't be very useful unless you have the actual rgb numbers of each color.
