Pantone celebrating the Queen Elizabith's 60 years of her reign over England.... diamond jubilee colour guide

You are used to see such color swatch book? 





Advertising agency leo burnett london and pantone had a funny way to celebrate the Queen of England's 60 years of her reign over England! 



The vibrant outfit colour choices of the queen are contained in the shape of the queen

"The small, queen-shaped book contains sixty years of queen elizabeth II's most memorable wardrobe shades, printed by precision imaging using HP indigo 
technology and is comprised of sixty separate images picturing varying pigments. beginning with color choices dating back to the queen's coronation, 
each of the individual shade references include the date and location of that particular ensemble. images of her majesties wardrobe selections were matched 
by pantone's emulation system, achieving exact color matching from the pantone shade range. "



" leatrice eiseman, the executive director of the 
pantone colour institute reflects upon her majesty's notable shade selections, including 'pantone 13-0755 primrose yellow' of queen elizabeth II's outfit 
worn in april of 2011 to the wedding of her grandson, prince william to kate middleton or 'pantone 13-4411 crystal blue' for which eiseman notes, 
'blue is a colour staple in the queen's wardrobe, it's a colour that communicates constancy and it is also symbolic of her devotion to the british people.
blues traditionally have calming properties and she is often seen wearing them during difficult times...
