Abstract

At least one color selection article is provided having a plurality of color display sheets comprising at least one repositionable color ply over at least one backing ply and optionally at least one attachment member to attach the color display sheets together. Optionally a plurality of attached color display sheets are arranged for viewing from at least one perspective of individual or combinations of a portion of each color layer of each ply. The repositionable color ply comprises two opposing surfaces one with a color layer and the other comprising temporarily adhering pressure sensitive adhesive material for repositioning the color ply. The backing ply has a release material for releasable association with the adhesive material. A plurality of articles in a kit each have repositionable color plies to give a plurality of neutral colors and a plurality of coordinating colors to give pre-selected color schemes.

Claims

1. A color selection article, comprising:

a) a plurality of color display sheets capable of movable overlapping arrangement (association) (for each sheet relative to at least a majority of color display sheets of the article) of one sheet to the next and, where each sheet comprises;

i) at least one repositionable color ply (layer) comprising two opposing surfaces one of which comprises a color layer and the other comprises at least one pressure sensitive adhesive material; and

ii) a backing sheet having at least two surfaces where at least a portion of surface facing the adhesive material has release material for contact with the adhesive material; and

b) at least one attachment member to hold the plurality of color display sheets together in movable relationship of one to the other;

(overlapping;

C) where the colors of the display sheets have a plurality of neutrals and a plurality of coordinating colors coordination in a manner of an analogous color scheme, complementary color scheme or split-complementary color scheme or temperature color scheme, diads, triads and tetrads.

2. A color selection article of claim 1 which includes at least one identifying indicia.

3. A color selection article of claim 1 wherein there are 1 to 4 color layers for each backing sheet.

4. A color selection article of claim 1 wherein there is 1 to 2 color layers for each backing sheet.

5. A color selection article of claim 1 wherein there is 1 color layer for each backing sheet and the color layer has dimensions ranging from about 10 to about 40 (15 to 25) square inches.

6. A color selection article of claim 1 optionally comprising at least one article display member (ring, hole, slot)

7. A color selection article of claim of claim 1 wherein the at least one pressure sensitive adhesive material forms a layer on the opposing surface sufficient to hold the repositionable color ply to a vertical surface for at least 5 minutes (preferably 15 to 120 minutes).

8. A color selection article of claim 1 wherein the adhesive material is pressure sensitive indirect adhesive, which releasably binds the color ply to the printed release material on the backing ply has a bond strength using a 180 degree peel adhesion test in the range from about 0.8 to about 3.0 oz. per inch.

9. A color selection article of claim 1 wherein the coordinated colors have At least 3 neutrals and 6 coordinating colors two of which are different hues wherein the neutrals are selected from black, white and shades of both and silver.

10. A surface color selection article, comprising

A plurality of supports attached to each other at least one point,

A plurality of detachable color display sheets? Where at least for a majority of the supports each support has at least one detachable wherein each support has:

i) A layer of release material over at least a portion of the support

ii) A layer of pressure sensitive adhesive over at least a portion of the release material,

iii) a color display layer over at least a portion of the pressure sensitive material wherein the color display layer and adhesive layer allows for repositioning of the color display layer to at least one other surface and wherein a majority of the color display layers in the article vary one from the other in at least two aspects of color selected from hue, reflectance value, and chroma in the Munsell color system.
