So a herpetologist colleague published a color swatch guide last year because the Smithe pub was out of print; would these help you guys out? Here's a link to it from Amazon (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.amazon.com_Color-2DCatalogue-2DBiologists-2DGunther-2DKohler_dp_3936180407_ref-3Dsr-5F1-5Ffkmr1-5F1-3Fs-3Dbooks-26ie-3DUTF8-26qid-3D1423059634-26sr-3D1-2D1-2Dfkmr1-26keywords-3Dcolor-2Bcatalog-2Bfor-2Bbiologists&d=AwIFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=RhPdfH_yd0spC6PNh_INHK8Z4mELWISshOyyoJyP10U&s=gOwZWod3W5wG285Bj8jZPhzvW-t2EnnMZ-c9XC-HNCw&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.amazon.com_Color-2DCatalogue-2DBiologists-2DGunther-2DKohler_dp_3936180407_ref-3Dsr-5F1-5Ffkmr1-5F1-3Fs-3Dbooks-26ie-3DUTF8-26qid-3D1423059634-26sr-3D1-2D1-2Dfkmr1-26keywords-3Dcolor-2Bcatalog-2Bfor-2Bbiologists&d=AwMFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=Gu6r5IjigQxtIRefVCDXAQUSbbweDKLu46sktjLGLs4&s=1u3NfVF20uXGQ9HKztCeLP9ljFBCB0j1wt9V_36SCxE&e=>) and if you want to read about it on a blog site, here's that link, too (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.anoleannals.org_2013_01_03_color-2Dcatalogue-2Dfor-2Dfield-2Dbiologists_&d=AwIFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=RhPdfH_yd0spC6PNh_INHK8Z4mELWISshOyyoJyP10U&s=GvdqWqKYh2uuW-LnU7KNqqdD8Mqniug4QWhvGBChrDU&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.anoleannals.org_2013_01_03_color-2Dcatalogue-2Dfor-2Dfield-2Dbiologists_&d=AwMFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=Gu6r5IjigQxtIRefVCDXAQUSbbweDKLu46sktjLGLs4&s=GG8DD73zbCTWANmt_D_v_p7WEOLfxACYb63iF6Mr0vQ&e=>).

I don't actually have it yet, been meaning to get it, so if anyone has opinions on it I'd like to hear them.

Cheers,

Does anyone know who holds the copyright on the Naturalist's Color Guide? Presumably AMNH as the publisher?

Hi All -- I've read a few species description papers lately in which the authors have described specimens' coloration with a color code, e.g.: Glaucous #80, Olive #29, etc. What's the source? Where can I get this code? Thanks -- ck
