The Color Atlas by Archroma

When we set out to create the Color Atlas by Archroma®, the goal was to create an empowering color tool, one that would help you find the exact color you need for your specific application. That’s why the book’s format and layout has been specifically designed for ease of use by using intuitive color IDs to help you find your colors quickly. Our colors have been formulated with products that comply with leading international eco-standards, and technical support is available through Archroma’s global offices for every color. Engineered Color Standards are available for all colors.
