I was cruising Amazon last night and found this.  I remembered you saying your husband is a designer, too.  He might appreciate it.

  • Haha, that's actually kind of hilarious, because while he's a graphic designer, he's also color blind! It's not any typical color blindness either. He's done a million of those tests to determine what spectrum he's on, and he never quite fits into any of them. So lots of times he just knows what the colors are supposed to be based on their number codes or whatever, or he'll ask me if he can't figure it out some other way.

    Funny that you remembered that, too! :)

  • Aaaand, I showed it to him and he wants me to get it. Apparently you're spot on with your recommendations! :)

    Wow, I feel kind of awkward for recommending this after I learned he is color blind!  :\">   But awesome that he can figure out the colors with the numbers, so I guess Pantone numbers are even more useful to him than the average designer!  Glad he got a kick out of the book.  I remember having to take a color blind test as part of my interview at a print shop (where all I got to do anyway was address mass mailings).
