The colour charts are exactly the same as in the second edition. There is one chart for hue, value and chroma and 10 charts for each colour. The text contents are quite technical.

Very helpful and very informative When I first received the Apparel Industry Sourcebook for Contractors, I was surprised to see how much smaller it was than the first WWD Directory I bought in 1994.
