The original PALETTE series earned its place on designers' shelves through exhaustive color research and stunning visual examples. This mini edition preserves that depth while fitting into bags, studio carts, and reference stacks where the larger volumes couldn't go. Gingko Press redesigned the layout for quick browsing, you can flip to specific palettes, scan combinations, and bookmark schemes without wrestling with a coffee table tome.

Each volume maintains the comprehensive approach that made the series valuable: real-world color applications, historical context, and contemporary design examples that demonstrate how palettes function across different media. The compact format doesn't sacrifice content; it reorganizes it for faster access when you're mid-project and need immediate inspiration rather than leisurely study.

The size works for collectors building a complete reference library without dedicated shelf space, and for working designers who need color guidance at their desk rather than across the room. Whether you're expanding an existing PALETTE collection or discovering the series for the first time, these mini editions deliver the visual research and practical examples that inform confident color decisions.
