    But there’s no point in using Pantone if you don’t have a corresponding swatch book, which they already charge through the nose for.

    Oh, it gets better, though. Paper ages and discolors. So your expensive Pantone books effectively have a one year shelf life, before paper discoloration means you can no longer trust it.
