After way too many office-wide searches for the communal Pantone book I took matters(well, colors) into my own hands and ordered myself up my very first Pantone kit.

And man, I got the big one too. It goes by the moniker: “The Pantone Ultimate Color Survival Kit.” 6 books with a free “Metallics Guidebook” and “Metallics Chips” thrown in as a bonus. That’s all of ‘em! Even comes with a pouch for safekeeping of the precious swatch booklets. I hope the handy pouch has belt-mount functionality. Imagine that, the whole Pantone library on yer side. Just like those crafty, quick-witted “IT” guys who come down form LA…all those gratuitous gadgets dangling from their bat-belts. Coated, Uncoated, Matte, Process Coated, Process Uncoated, Solid to Process, Metallic…I can’t wait to get to know those numbers and hues.

Dig the colors at the Pantone homebase.
