    Very cool resource! A word of warning though: don’t use this in the field. Your laptop/tablet/phone screen does not show true colors unless you’ve somehow done color-calibration, which most people won’t. There’s a reason the printed booklets are so expensive. Accurately recreating real colors is harder than you might think.

      Certainly helps for reading reports or in a pinch though!

        For sure! And it can still definitely be used as quick reference in the field, I just want the students out there to know that colors are hard and can be surprisingly subjective out in the glaring sunlight.
