I’m obsessing over all the maples that are turning slowly this season–their tops red, fading to green. So much that I felt compelled to collect samples from a single tree.
I was doing similar noodling back in ’04 (though I’m sure I do it every autumn).
I figure this year’s exercise was inspired largely by Marketing Drive’s Pantone Matching photoset.
In related linkery, The Color Palette Generator will spit out a set of colors based on an image you throw at it.

I’m amazed that they’re all from the same tree.
What a great shot, and I too can’t believe that such a range of colour on one tree.
Oh, and great work on the site, I really love the design, especially the icons!
Love this pic and love the striking similarity of the Pantone’s…beautiful!
Beautiful. I love it.
What a beautiful picture. You do capture the beauty that is in everything around us. Thanks for making me smile
Very clever idea! And it looks very good too. Well done!
very beautiful! i love the pantone leaves.
Love it… obviously can’t leave your work at home! I’ve blogged it on our site with a link to you.
Awesome as always. Nicely done, Chris Glass.
Theres no better way that Ive seen than this to show much the beauty of nature can inspire design.
You should wax it and frame it. It’s purdy.
thats similar to our blog. the new pantone system and you will wonder: a system to mix your coffee in pantone colors….http://blogcast.graustich.com/detailanischt/article/pantone-mischt-neu-das-goe-system.html
Very nice picture. I wonder how much time the fella got. I need to buy those pantone chips too.
That’s just great stuff. I too am amazed you were able to collect them all from the same tree and have the colors still be so vibrant.
Love the maple colors, and now that I’ve see this post I love it even more!
