It was Massimo who taught me one of the simplest things in the world: that if you do good work, you get more good work to do, and conversely bad work brings more bad work. It sounds simple, but it’s remarkable, in a lifetime of pragmatics and compromises, how easy it is to forget: the only way to do good work is simply to do good work. Massimo did good work.

The First Color Index
271 Years Before Pantone, an Artist Mixed and Described Every Color Imaginable in an 800-Page Book.It actually reminds me more of the Color Index
and similar color selectors.I'm always telling my students you can't have enough books full of color swatches. They often chafe during early projects when I limit them to a color or two but by the time I let them work in full color they have discovered what we all discover. Color is hard. It can visually support a message, or detract from it. Guide the eye or muddy the water. Pop or dissolve an entire piece into cacophony.
