Product description
The first sample is a cellophane packet containing 20 loose, identical “color cards.” These are 2” x 6” paper cards, each of which is coated on one side with an array of 5 different shades of paint. Each shade is captioned with a number. The second sample is a “fandeck” type of product consisting of a two-inch-high stack of color cards bound together at one corner by a shaft upon which they pivot. The individual cards are similar to those of the first sample, having an array of numbered paint deposits on their faces. However, in this instance, the cards measure 2” x 7½”, and their reverse sides are printed with names corresponding to the colors on the front. Several cards at the back of the deck comprise a printed index of all the colors. The deck also features front and back covers made of plastic sheeting.
