One aspect of the present invention provides a method for systematically arranging paint color samples for convenient browsing and identification of desired colors by shoppers. Paint color sample cards are arranged on a two-dimensional display surface such that colors of similar hue are categorized or grouped together (e.g., along a column). Groups of paint color sample cards having different base hue or color are arranged such that there is a gradual transition between paint colors from one region to the next region. For instance, the colors of sample cards may gradually change from column to column across a two-dimensional display. Additionally, within each color group, paint color sample cards are arranged from most chromatic to least chromatic colors. Another aspect of the invention provides for accent color sample cards to be displayed adjacent to the various base color groups.

本发明一个方面提供有条理地排列颜色样本以便于购买者浏览和识别所希望的颜色的方法。颜色样本卡排列在二维显示表面，使得相似色相的色归类或分组到一起(如沿列)。排列具有不同基色相或颜色的颜色样本卡的组，使得在一个区域到下一个区域颜色之间存在逐渐过渡。例如，样本卡的颜色可以在整个二维显示从列到列逐渐改变。另外，在每个色组内，颜色样本卡从最高色度到最低色度排列。本发明另一方面提供与各个基色组相邻显示强调色的样本卡。
