Benjamin Moore’s palette is composed of thousands of colors. We added a color key to the bottom of each binder spine, referencing the hues inside. This minimizes guessing, unnecessarily lifting and opening binders, getting designers to the right color faster.
Content clarity was a critical part of the reference set design architecture. From binder cover to color sample sheet, the information hierarchy was thoughtfully designed as a cohesive unit in English, Spanish, and French.
