FIELD NOTES

Colour is more
than a code.

Pigment explores the stories people give colour. Explore sixteen colours through four lenses: Meaning, Art, Material and History. Save colours to revisit and take their digital swatches to the workbench.

The spectrum and colour specimen are digital illustrations, not calibrated pigment samples. Workbench colours are illustrative sRGB values. Your display, lighting and surrounding colours change what you see.
