As a magazine journalist of many years I have a deep-seated love of the Pantone Matching System, but even I have started finding it a little ubiquitous now it appears on mugs, biscuit tins, socks and notebooks everywhere. However, one usage I do greatly approve of is the children’s book collection, courtesy of Abrams Appleseed. Now we have the amazing Pantone Colour Cards (RRP £8.99), a set of eighteen flash cards (oh, how I love a flash card), each featuring a different colour and, on the reverse, a different pattern comprised of animals or objects. Challenge your little one to find the animal that matches the shade on the card or just frame a few for fab nursery art.
