Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a catalog, and particularly to a catalog displaying samples.

Background Art

[0002] In the case where there are multiple color variations in products listed in a catalog, color samples may be displayed in the catalog. And by attaching a product number to each color sample and placing an order etc. based on the product number, it becomes a mechanism where products having the color of the same color sample can be ordered and purchased.

[0003] By the way, for example, the decorative sheet used for interior and exterior decoration is used on the wall surface etc., but there are cases where it is desired to match the color of this decorative sheet with other components. For example, it is a case where it is desired to match the color of the door and the color of the decorative sheet on the wall surface. Also, due to interior remodeling etc., there are cases where it is desired to replace the wall surface that has been painted using paint with a decorative sheet of the same color tone. Note that the decorative sheet is a decorative sheet used by attaching it to interior and exterior wall surfaces, fixtures, furniture, etc. The decorative sheet may also be called an adhesive decorative film, an architectural decorative film, etc.

[0004] In order to meet such needs, an approximate color number approximating the color of the color sample in the catalog may be displayed in the catalog. This approximate color is a color among the colors of color sample books issued by organizations or companies (for example, the standard colors for paints issued by the Japan Paint Industry Association, a general incorporated association) that approximates the color of the color sample of the decorative sheet. Also, the approximate color number is the number of the approximate color that approximates the color sample of the decorative sheet among the color numbers in the same sample book. And when a user wants to use a decorative sheet instead of paint, for example, if the user selects a decorative sheet of the color sample in which the color number of the paint previously used is displayed as the approximate color number, it is possible to obtain an approximate color tone even when replacing from paint to a decorative sheet.

[0005] Here, multiple color samples of the cosmetic sheet are displayed on one page of the catalog. Specifically, in the catalog of Non-Patent Document 1, different color samples are displayed in a maximum of 11 columns vertically and 6 columns horizontally on one page, and each color sample is a rectangle with a length of 1.4 cm vertically and 2.8 cm horizontally.

[0006] In this case, if the product number and the approximate color number are displayed for each color sample, the information to be displayed on one color sample will increase. If the space per color sample within one page of the catalog is fixed, the color samples will be made smaller by the amount of increased information. However, making the color samples smaller makes it difficult for users to imagine the colors, which is not preferable.

[0007] On the other hand, if the space per color sample within one page of the catalog is increased, the color samples can be kept at the original size. However, doing so will reduce the number of color samples displayed per page, resulting in an increase in the number of pages of the color samples.

[0008] Therefore, in the catalog of Non-Patent Document 1, on the color sample page, the product number and a mark with simplified information are displayed in one line for each color sample. On the other hand, the approximate color number is not displayed on the color sample page, and a correspondence table between the product number and the approximate color number is published in a separate booklet (pages 52 and 53 of Non-Patent Document 1, separate booklet).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0010] However, if the approximate color numbers are listed in a separate booklet, the user has to identify the product number while opening the page of the color sample, and then grasp the corresponding approximate color number based on the product number in the separate booklet, which makes the operation complicated. Moreover, this is not limited to the information such as the approximate color numbers on the color sample page. For example, the same applies when trying to grasp information such as the product numbers of wallpapers or large-sized tiles with the same pattern as the pattern sample on the pattern sample page.

[0011] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to enable easy grasping of the sample information displayed in a catalog.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0012] In order to achieve the above object, in a catalog having a sample page displaying a plurality of samples, there is an information sheet displaying the information of the samples displayed on the sample page. The information sheet has a window portion, and the information sheet can be in a state of being overlapped with the sample page and a state of not being overlapped with the sample page. In the overlapped state, the sample on the sample page is located in the window portion of the information sheet, and the information of the sample located in the same window portion is displayed outside or inside the window portion on the information sheet.

[0013] The sample page and the information sheet are bound together in a one-sided binding.

Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to the present invention, it becomes easy to grasp the information of the samples displayed in the catalog.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in catalog 1 of a cosmetic sheet will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. Regarding Catalog 1 Catalog 1 of the present embodiment is in a left-bound format with a cover (not shown), and the mounts 2 as a plurality of sheets are bound to the twin rings 3 to form a book. Note that one side of each mount 2 constitutes one page of catalog 1, and since there are pages (formed) on both sides of one mount 2, it becomes two pages. Each mount 2 of catalog 1 includes a table of contents page 4, a pattern sample page 5 as a sample page, a color sample page 6 as a sample page, an approximate color page 7, a guide page 8, etc. The mount 2 on which the approximate color page 7 is formed becomes an information sheet.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the table of contents page 4 is a page on which a table of contents (INDEX) is displayed, located at the beginning when the cover of catalog 1 is opened, and displays the product series name 41 and the page number 42. Note that "display" means a state in which characters, patterns, symbols, etc. are represented by printing, pasting, stamping, etc. Even when samples or samples are pasted on the mount 2, it is called "display", and in some cases, a color sample or the like located through a hole or notch formed in the mount 2 and being visible is also called "display".

[0018] The sample pattern page 5 shown in Fig. 2 is a page located following the table of contents page 4 of the catalog 1, and is a page displaying the sample pattern 51 of the decorative sheet. The sample pattern page 5 displays sample patterns 51 such as wood grain patterns (left page of Fig. 2), marble patterns, leather patterns, metallic patterns, geometric patterns (right page of Fig. 2), fabric patterns, Japanese patterns, etc., including figures, pictures, shapes, etc. In addition, there may be cases where multiple color developments are made for the same pattern. In this case, the sample pattern 51 including color differences is displayed on the sample pattern page 5.

[0019] The color sample page 6 shown in Figs. 3, 6, and 7 is a page located following the sample pattern page 5 of the catalog 1, and is a page displaying the plain and single-color color sample 61 of the decorative sheet as shown on the left page of Fig. 3 and the right page of Fig. 7. This color sample 61 serves as a sample.

[0020] The adjacent color page 7 shown in Figs. 3, 6, and 7 is a page displaying the adjacent colors of the color sample 61 displayed on the color sample page 6 as shown on the right page of Fig. 3 and the left page of Fig. 7. The adjacent color page 7 is formed on both sides of the mounting board 2 bound before or after the color sample page 6.

[0021] The guide page 8 shown in Fig. 4 is, as shown on the right page of Fig. 4, a page located at the end of the catalog 1 and describes guide information such as the contact information (locations of showrooms, branch offices, etc., telephone numbers) for confirming and purchasing the products displayed in the catalog. In addition to these, in the catalog 1, there are also image pages, etc., which display photos of the model rooms arranged with the decorative sheets published in the catalog 1 and furniture coordinated with them in terms of patterns and colors as shown on the left page of Fig. 4. However, the description of other pages is omitted.

[0022] The backing paper 2 is made of opaque cardboard. One sheet of the backing paper 2 has the same vertical dimension as A4 paper in the vertical orientation (297 mm in length and 210 mm in width), and the width dimension is about 15 mm wider. A plurality of rectangular stitching holes 21 are formed along one long side of each backing paper 2, and the backing paper 2 is stitched to the twin ring 3 for bookbinding. Further, on a part of the long side opposite to the stitching holes 21 in the height direction of the backing paper 2, an index 22 protruding in a rectangular shape is formed. The indexes 22 formed on the backing paper 2 have different vertical positions depending on the backing paper 2, and in the bound state, the indexes 22 of each backing paper 2 are in positions where they do not completely overlap. Note that some of the backing papers 2 in the catalog 1 do not have the index 22.

[0023] Regarding the pattern sample page 5 and the color sample page 6 As shown in FIG. 2, the individual sizes of the pattern samples 51 displayed on the pattern sample page 5 are not necessarily constant. For example, there are patterns (such as fine wood grain patterns) that can be sufficiently grasped even in small sizes, while there are also patterns (such as large wood grain patterns) for which a large size is preferable for sufficient grasping. Also, as shown on the right page of FIG. 2, even for the same type of pattern sample 51, specifically geometric patterns, published on the same page, the size of the pattern sample 51 may be varied from a design perspective or the like. The pattern samples 51 used on the pattern sample page 5 are obtained by cutting an actual decorative sheet into a predetermined size and pasted onto the backing paper 2 with an adhesive.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 2, a product number 52 is displayed below the pattern sample 51 on the pattern sample page 5. This product number 52 is the product number of the decorative sheet related to the pattern sample 51 and consists of a character string combining alphabets and numbers, such as "AB1234" or the like. Also, on the pattern sample page 5, some display a mark 53 following the product number 52 for each pattern sample 51. Although not shown, the meaning content of the mark 53 is explained outside the column of the pattern sample page 5. For example, one mark 53 indicates that the decorative sheet of the pattern sample 51 where it is displayed is a weather-resistant type and can be used outdoors, and another mark 53 indicates that special construction precautions need to be confirmed during the construction of the decorative sheet.

[0025] Product number 52 and mark 53 are displayed below each sample pattern 51 on the sample pattern page 5. Note that the paper color of the sample pattern page 5 varies depending on the sample pattern 51 on that page. For example, for the sample pattern page 5 on which a dark-colored sample pattern 51 is displayed, the background paper surface is white, and for the sample pattern page 5 on which a light-colored sample pattern 51 is displayed, the paper surface is black, but this can be set arbitrarily. For example, the paper color may be varied horizontally or vertically within one page. When the paper surface is white, product number 52 and mark 53 are displayed in black, and when the paper surface is black, they are displayed in white for better visibility.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 3, 6, and 7, there are two color sample pages 6 in the catalog 1, which are divided into a left page and a right page when the catalog 1 is opened. Among the color sample pages 6, the one on the left page of FIG. 3 is referred to as the first color sample page 6a. Also, the one on the right page of FIG. 7 is referred to as the second color sample page 6b. When both the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b are common, they are collectively referred to as the color sample page 6. Note that as shown in FIG. 6, since the mount 2 constituting the approximate color page 7 is bound between the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b, the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b are not two consecutive pages.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b each have color samples 61 arranged in a maximum of 5 vertical columns and 4 horizontal columns. Note that in Non-Patent Document 1, there is a color sample with 11 vertical columns and 6 horizontal columns, but in this embodiment, the number of vertical and horizontal columns on one page is reduced. This is merely for convenience such as enlarging the display of the color samples 61 etc. to facilitate understanding in the drawing. All the color samples 61 displayed on the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b are of different colors. For convenience of explanation, in FIGS. 3, 6, and 7, reference numerals are attached only to a part of the color samples 61 etc. Each color sample 61 is a rectangular piece cut from an actual decorative sheet of a certain size, and is attached to the mount 2 with an adhesive in a landscape orientation. There is no particular rule for the arrangement method of the color samples 61 on the color sample page 6, but the color samples 61 are often arranged and numbered along the hue, and it is easier to compare colors when colors with similar hues are arranged close to each other. For this reason, the color samples 61 are arranged side by side along the hue in the vertical or horizontal direction. The basic positions (positions of 5 vertical columns and 4 horizontal columns at maximum) of the color samples 61 on the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b are positions that are line-symmetric about the center of the twin ring 3. However, depending on the number and color types of the color samples 61, there are some places in some vertical or horizontal columns of each color sample page 6 where no color sample 61 is arranged.

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, on the color sample page 6, the product number 62 of the decorative sheet corresponding to the color sample 61 is displayed below each color sample 61. This product number 62 is a character string appropriately combining alphabets and numbers, such as "YZ3456", similar to the pattern sample page 5. Also, it is the same as the pattern sample page 5 that a mark 63 is displayed following the product number 62. Furthermore, it is the same as the pattern sample page 5 that the product number 62 and the mark 63 are located below each color sample 61 on the color sample page 6.

[0029] Next, the approximate color page 7 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 3, 6, and 7, there are two pages of the approximate color page 7 formed on both sides of a single mount 2. Among the approximate color pages 7, the one on the right page of FIG. 3 is referred to as the first approximate color page 7a. Also, the one on the left page of FIG. 7 is referred to as the second approximate color page 7b. When both the first approximate color page 7a and the second approximate color page 7b are common, they are collectively referred to as the approximate color page 7. The mount 2 constituting the approximate color page 7 is bound between two pages of the color sample pages 6 and can be overlapped with each color sample page 6. Above each approximate color page 7, the characters "approximate color" are displayed, indicating to the user that the page is an approximate color page. The color of the paper surface of the approximate color page 7 is gray. This gray is, for example, N-8.88 in Munsell value, and the preferable range is from N-8.0 to N-9.5 in Munsell value. By setting the color of the paper surface of the approximate color page 7 within this range, the color of the color sample 61 can be grasped well.

[0030] The first approximate color page 7a shown on the right page of FIG. 3 displays the approximate color information as the information of the color sample 61 of the second color sample page 6b. Also, the second approximate color page 7b shown on the left page of FIG. 7 displays the approximate color information as the information of the color sample 61 of the first color sample page 6a shown on the left page of FIG. 3. The mount 2 constituting the approximate color page 7 has a plurality of substantially rectangular window portions 71 arranged in five columns vertically and four columns horizontally in the same arrangement as the color sample pages 6. Each window portion 71 is a hole portion formed by punching through the mount 2 in the thickness direction, and is slightly smaller in both the vertical and horizontal lengths than the color sample 61, with rounded corners at the four corners. This window portion 71 is shared by the first approximate color page 7a and the second approximate color page 7b. The center of each window portion 71 (the intersection of the lines connecting the midpoints of the sides, hereinafter the same applies to the color sample 61) is at the same position as the center of each color sample 61 of the color sample page 6. When the mount 2 of the approximate color page 7 is overlapped with the color sample page 6 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the color sample 61 is positioned over the entire window portion 71. That is, the color sample 61 is displayed in the window portion 71. For the sake of convenience in explanation, in FIGS. 3, 6, and 7, reference numerals are attached only to a part such as the window portion 71. Note that the information of the color sample 61 refers to various information that can be listed in the catalog 1 regarding the color sample 61 (sample).

[0031] As shown in the enlarged view in Fig. 5, a product number 72 as information is displayed adjacent to the lower window portion 71 of each window portion 71 of the first approximate color page 7a. This product number 72 is the product number of the color sample 61 located in each window portion 71 when the mount 2 of the first approximate color page 7a is overlaid on the second color sample page 6b, and is the same as the product number 62 displayed on the color sample page 6. Also, information is displayed in three vertical rows adjacent to the right window portion 71 outside each window portion 71. Among these, the Munsell value 73 as information is displayed in the upper row. It is a numerical representation obtained by dividing color into three attributes: hue, lightness, and chroma. For example, when the Munsell value 73 of the blue color sample 61 displayed on the second color sample page 6b is 6.8B6.1 / 7.5, this numerical value is displayed. The reason for displaying the Munsell value 73 is that the environment for viewing the catalog 1 is not necessarily constant, and the brightness and the color of the lighting (such as bulb color or daylight white) can be different. Since the appearance of the same color sample 61 changes in different environments, it is for the purpose of being able to grasp the color as an objective numerical value. Note that "adjacent" means a state where, for example, it is possible to visually grasp which window portion 71 it is related to. For example, when displaying the product number 72 between two upper and lower window portions 71 as shown in Fig. 5, there are cases where the product number 72 is displayed closer to the target (upper) window portion 71 than to the other (lower) window portion 71. Also, not limited to the distance, for example, when displaying the product number 72 between two window portions 71, it also includes cases where a line is drawn between the product number 72 and the window portion 71 that is not the target to emphasize that there is no relationship.

[0032] What is shown in the middle section is the Nippon Paint approximate color number 74 as approximate color information. Nippon Paint is the abbreviation of the General Incorporated Association Japan Paint Industry Association, and the color sample book of standard colors for paints issued by this association is widely used. Specifically, among the standard colors for paints issued by the General Incorporated Association Japan Paint Industry Association, the number of the standard color for paints that is the approximate color of the color sample 61 located in the window section 71 is defined as the Nippon Paint approximate color number 74. Here, the selection of the approximate color is based on the following method. First, a color that visually approximates the target color sample 61 is selected from among the standard colors for paints. Next, the Munsell value of the selected color is measured, and if it is determined from the measurement results that it is also a good approximate color for the target color sample 61, it is specified as the approximate color. The number of the standard color for paints that approximates the color sample 61 of the blue with the Munsell value 73 of 6.8B6.1 / 7.5 mentioned above is 65-60P, and this number is displayed as the Nippon Paint approximate color number 74.

[0033] Furthermore, what is listed in the lower section is the DIC approximate color number 75 as approximate color information. Specifically, among the colors listed in the color sample book (DIC Color Guide) issued by DIC Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "DIC listed colors"), the number of the DIC listed color that is the approximate color of the color sample 61 located in the window section 71 is defined as the DIC approximate color number 75. This approximate color is also a color that is visually selected as an approximate color from among the DIC listed colors for the target color sample 61, and further specified by measuring the Munsell value. The number of the DIC listed color that approximates the color sample 61 of the blue with the Munsell value 73 of 6.8B6.1 / 7.5 mentioned above is DIC100, and this number is displayed as the DIC approximate color number 75. Note that among the multiple color samples 61 displayed on color sample page 6, there is no corresponding Nippon Paint approximate color number 74 or DIC approximate color number 75. In other words, there are cases where it is not appropriate to use even the closest color as an approximate color. In this case, the corresponding location is left blank as shown in the second row from the top in Figure 5.

[0034] As shown in Figure 7, the second approximate color page 7b is the same as the first approximate color page 7a except that information is also displayed vertically in three rows adjacent to the window section 71 on the left side of each window section 71. Subsequently, a method for grasping the approximate colors of the color samples 61 using Catalog 1 will be described.

[0035] First, regarding the first color sample page 6a, as shown in FIG. 3, the user turns over the mount 2 of the catalog 1 to open the first color sample page 6a. In this state, the first color sample page 6a is opened on the left page, and the first approximate color page 7a is opened on the right page. Then, it is assumed that the user focuses on a specific color sample 61 from the color samples 61 on the first color sample page 6a. In order for the user to grasp the approximate color of this color sample 61, as shown in FIG. 6, the user turns over the mount 2 of the approximate color page 7 from right to left, and overlaps the mount 2 of the second approximate color page 7b on the first color sample page 6a as shown in FIG. 7.

[0036] Then, the color samples 61 of the first color sample page 6a are respectively positioned in the respective window portions 71 of the second approximate color page 7b. The user can visually recognize the color samples 61 of the first color sample page 6a from the window portions 71 of the second approximate color page 7b. Further, the corresponding product numbers 72 are displayed below the window portions 71 where the color samples 61 are located. For this reason, even when there are a plurality of color samples 61 with similar hues, the user can grasp the target color sample 61 from the window portions 71 using the product numbers 72 displayed on the second approximate color page 7b as a clue.

[0037] And, as shown in FIG. 7, to the left of the window portion 71 where the target color sample 61 is located, the Munsell value 73, the Nippon Paint approximate color number 74, and the DIC approximate color number 75 of the same color sample 61 are displayed. For this reason, the user can grasp the Munsell value and the approximate color information while visually recognizing the target color sample 61. As shown in FIG. 5, there is upper and middle information to the right of the window portion 71 of the first approximate color page 7a corresponding to the color sample 61 in the second row from the top in the leftmost column of the second color sample page 6b, but the lower information is not displayed. In such a case, the user can grasp that there is an approximate color for the color sample 61 in the standard color for paints of Nippon Paint, but there is no approximate color in the colors published by DIC.

[0038] Next, regarding the second color sample page 6b, as shown in FIG. 7, the user turns over the mount 2 of the catalog 1 to open the second color sample page 6b. In this state, the second color sample page 6b is opened on the right page, and the second approximate color page 7b is opened on the left page. Then, assume that the user focuses on a specific color sample 61 among the plurality of color samples 61 displayed on the second color sample page 6b. In order for the user to grasp the approximate color of this color sample 61, as shown in FIG. 6, the user turns over the mount 2 of the approximate color page 7 from left to right and overlays the mount 2 of the first approximate color page 7a on the second color sample page 6b as shown in FIG. 3. Then, the color sample 61 on the second color sample page 6b can be visually recognized through the window portion 71 of the first approximate color page 7a. And since the Munsell value 73, the Nippon Paint approximate color number 74, and the DIC approximate color number 75 of each color sample 61 are displayed to the right of the window portion 71 where the color sample 61 is located, the target Munsell value and approximate color can be grasped.

[0039] According to the catalog 1 of the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) In the above embodiment, the mount 2 of the approximate color page 7 is provided with a window portion 71, and the color sample 61 is located in the window portion 71 in a state where the mount 2 of the approximate color page 7 is overlaid on the color sample page 6. Also, the Munsell value 73, the Nippon Paint approximate color number 74, and the DIC approximate color number 75 of the color of the color sample 61 located in each window portion 71 are displayed to the left or right outside each window portion 71. For this reason, it is possible to easily grasp the approximate color of the color of the color sample 61 without reducing the size of the color sample 61 displayed on the color sample page 6.

[0040] (2) The Munsell value 73, the Nippon Paint approximate color number 74, and the DIC approximate color number 75 are displayed adjacent to the window portion 71 to the left or right outside the window portion 71. For this reason, it is possible to grasp the color sample 61 from the window portion 71 and also to grasp the Munsell value 73, the Nippon Paint approximate color number 74, and the DIC approximate color number 75.

[0041] (3) Since the product number 72 is displayed adjacent to each window portion 71, the product number 72 can be used as a clue for grasping the Nippon Paint approximate color or the DIC approximate color, and even when there are colors with similar hues, it becomes easier to grasp the target color sample 61.

[0042] (4) The window portion 71 is a hole portion formed by punching through the mount 2. Therefore, the window portion 71 can be easily formed. (5) Also, the two-page approximate color pages 7 are formed on both sides of a single mount 2, and the window portion 71 is shared by the two-page approximate color pages 7 on both sides. Therefore, it is not necessary to form the window portion 71 for each page.

[0043] (6) As the approximate color pages 7, the first approximate color page 7a and the second approximate color page 7b are formed on both sides of a single mount 2, and the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b are arranged as the pages before and after them. Therefore, the two-page approximate color pages 7 corresponding to the two-page color sample pages 6 can be configured with a single mount 2.

[0044] (7) Since the approximate color pages 7 are formed on a cardboard mount 2, they are opaque except for the window portion 71. Therefore, the color sample 61 is displayed only on the window portion 71, and the color sample 61 located in the window portion 71 can be grasped more clearly.

[0045] (8) The color of the paper surface of the approximate color pages 7 is set to N-8.88 in Munsell values, and the preferable range is from N-8.0 to N-9.5. Therefore, the color of the color sample 61 located in the window portion 71 of the approximate color pages 7 can be grasped well.

[0046] Note that the above embodiment may be modified as follows. · As the approximate color information, the standard colors for paints issued by the Japan Paint Industry Association, Incorporated Administrative Agency and the colors published in the color sample book (DIC Color Guide) issued by DIC Corporation were targeted, but instead of or in addition to this, color information issued by other organizations or companies may be displayed.

[0047] · The color sample 61 displayed in Catalog 1 was used as the decorative sheet, but other objects may also be targeted. · The display positions of each information such as the Munsell value 73, the Japanese painter's approximate color number 74, the DIC approximate color number 75, etc. displayed on the approximate color page 7 with respect to the window portion 71 may be changed. In this case, if it is outside the window portion 71, it can be positioned above, below, to the left, or to the right of the window portion 71. Also, these information are preferably displayed adjacent to the window portion 71.

[0048] · It may be the window portion 71 where a transparent sheet is pasted on the hole formed in the mount 2. In this case, since the window portion 71 is no longer a hole where the transparent sheet is located and penetrates, information such as approximate color information may be displayed on the transparent sheet that becomes the inside of the window portion 71.

[0049] · The mount 2 was made of opaque cardboard, but other materials may also be used. For example, a resin sheet may be used as the mount 2. In this case, to make the approximate color page 7, an opaque material may be used as the resin sheet, and the window portion 71 may be formed by punching. Also, a colorless and transparent material may be used as the resin sheet, and the area other than the window portion 71 or the periphery of the window portion 71 may be colored. In this case as well, information may be displayed on the resin sheet that becomes the inside of the window portion 71.

[0050] · The color sample page 6 was formed on one side of each of the two mounts 2 to make a total of 2 pages, but it may also be 1 page or 3 pages or more. · The mount 2 on which the approximate color page 7 was formed was bound to the twin ring 3, but the mount 2 may be detachable from the catalog 1. Also, the mount 2 having the approximate color page 7 may not be bound to the catalog 1. For example, a pocket may be arranged on the back cover portion of the catalog 1, and the mount 2 of the approximate color page 7 may be inserted into this pocket, and if necessary, it may be taken out and the mount 2 may be overlapped on the color sample page 6.

[0051] · The color of the paper surface of the approximate color page 7 was set to N - 8.88 in terms of Munsell value, and the preferred range was set to N - 8.0 to N - 9.5, but it may be changed to any other color. ·In the above embodiment, the approximate color page 7 targets the approximate color information of the color sample 61, but other information may also be displayed. For example, for the pattern sample 51 of the pattern sample page 5 shown in FIG. 2, a window portion 71 adapted to the pattern sample 51 like the approximate color page 7 is formed on a mount 2 (not shown) serving as an information sheet. Then, the product number of the wallpaper with the same pattern as the pattern sample 51, the product number of the large-size tile with the same pattern, etc. may be displayed as information outside or inside the window portion 71 of the mount 2. This is useful when, for example, the decorative sheet of the pattern sample 51 is pasted on the door of an elevator and the same-pattern wallpaper is pasted on the wall surface of a building adjacent thereto to match the patterns of both. In this case, the pattern sample page 5 becomes the sample page and the pattern sample 51 becomes the sample. Also, it is preferable to display these information adjacent to the window portion 71.

[0052] ·Furthermore, when the pattern sample 51 of the pattern sample page 5 uses a specific material or produces a specific material effect, etc., that information may also be displayed. For example, the material, origin, composition, etc. of the pattern sample 51 of the pattern sample page 5 or the material, origin, composition, etc. produced by the pattern sample may be displayed as information outside or inside the window portion 71 of the mount 2. Also, it is preferable to display these information adjacent to the window portion 71.

[0053] ·The above-described modification examples may be combined. Next, the technical ideas that can be grasped from the above embodiment and alternative examples, together with their effects, are appended below.

[0054] (a) A catalog characterized in that the color of the paper surface of the approximate color page is in the range of N - 8.0 to N - 9.5 in Munsell values. Thereby, the color of the color sample can be grasped well through the approximate color page.

[0055] (b) A catalog characterized in that the mount having the approximate color page is detachable. Thereby, the mount having the approximate color page can be replaced due to the abolition or addition of approximate colors, etc.
