AFFINITY™

The idea of the AFFINITY palette was a challenge – to choose a range of shades, that fully harmonize with each other (the collection was developed for 3 years).
Firsthand test for color harmony: flip the color deck over and from the white backs of each sleeve select 3 – flip the deck showing the color side and the 3 colors selected (whichever you select) and they will work perfectly together.
The colors are marked with names and the symbol „AF” along with the number. Example: „Caliente AF-290”.
