How the Colour Match pencil system works

Colour Match is a system using Faber Castell colour coded pencils that are matched to the Resene Total Colour System.

This system helps you to illustrate the colours you have selected and enables you to confidently present colour concepts to your clients. The Resene Colour Match system can be ordered online or through Resene representatives, for $275 for the full set or the pencils can be purchased individually.

Resene Colour Match is a simple system to use. Read the following directions and explanations on how to achieve the best results:
