We're loving this delectable take on our the classic colour standard from French blogger Emilie Guelpa.

What a fascinating way to visualise all the colours of the human race. In Humanae, Brazilian artist Angelica Dass makes her very own version of the Pantone scale, aiming to record every human skin tone in existence.

Got to love this... Pantone has launched a limited edition colour guide to The Queen to commemorate her Diamond Jubilee.

The bespoke guide, cut to her silhouette, features some of Her Majesty's most memorable colour choices, including Primrose Yellow, Crystal Blue and Pink Carnation. Each features Pantone Colour references, as well as the date and location of her outfit choice. 

The guide was created in collaboration with ad agency Leo Burnett London.
