Abstract: A color matching and coordinating reference system for use by manufacturers and consumers of goods includes assigning a unique identification code for each of a plurality of colors. The identification code includes color family indicia, color value indicia, and color selector device indicia. Preferably, each color is assigned a unique color name as well. Manufacturers utilizing the system label or otherwise associate each good with the identification code for each color used therewith to assist the consumer in matching and coordinating colors. Color selector devices and tables can be used by the consumer or manufacturer in finding matching colors or coordinating/complimentary color combinations.

Abstract: A device for determining aesthetically harmonious color combinations includes a color selector wheel rotatably attached to a base having a plurality of distinct color selection groups disposed beyond and surrounding the periphery of the color selection wheel. Each color group section forms a window through which samples can be viewed. The color selector wheel has color selection indicia in the form of at least one symmetrical geometric symbol centered on the face of the color selector wheel. The indicia each have a primary vertex and a plurality of secondary vertices disposed adjacent to the periphery of the color selector wheel such that alignment of the primary vertex with a selected color selection group automatically aligns the secondary vertices with harmonious color combination selection groups and allows the user to develop progressive color coordinating combinations.
