A collectible publication for graphic designers and creative entrepreneurs, Color Library is the outcome of one of the most talked-about projects of recent years in the graphic-design field. The Color Library project is a database of color profiles for artists, designers, photographers and printers looking for a fresh but professional color-management solution. It offers a wide variety of color combinations, from basic colors through metallic, neon and pastel. Created at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, Color Library was launched in 2014. Among the graphic designers and creative structures that have used and/or are using Color Library are Åbäke, Vitra, Baldinger Vu-Huu, Edition Patrick Frey, Zak Group, Istituto Svizzero, Kunsthalle Basel and Nero Publishing. The publication includes a commissioned visual essay by Zurich-based photographer Shirana Shahbazi, as well as essays by London-based writer, curator and graphic-design expert Emily King, Manon Bruet and Franz Sigg.
