Color charts

• Which color chart you print and use depends on how your application selects color. For information on color selection, refer to the application's documentation, then print one or more of the color sampler charts.
• Each color sampler chart is several pages long; print them in panels and connect them to form a wall chart or place in a binder for easy reference.
