This colorful calendar for 2015 takes inspiration from paint swatches, infusing color into each and every day of the year. The Color Swatch Calendar has a shape that fans out like a deck of color cards. When creating this unique paper calendar its creator Peter Von Freyhold notes that the inspiration came to him while thinking of the lack of color that comes with the dreary winter months.
As well as being able to help you keep track of the months and days, the calendar also shows off the CMYK values for each color, which makes it also pretty handy as a color reference guide. If you know a graphic designer or someone who is just obsessed with color, this is a fantastic calendar gift for the new year.
