For the Sikkens construction paint collection a color selection system has been developed, consisting of a basic fan, a personal fan with color sample service and a binder to archive color samples. It is a professional tool for architects and painters among others. The advantage of this tool is that the new construction allows visual evaluation of the colors independent from each other. A personal collection can be composed in a constructive way by use of the personal fan and the color sample service; this way it benefits not only archiving but also a marketing goal. The whole system emphasizes the professionalism and the quality of the brand Sikkens.
