Perhaps even cross reference these colors to some standard like the
Pantone color system (used by graphic artists and Photoshop). Maybe you
could get a grant/cooperative with some of the MGB clubs for your
efforts. You could make more than one of these color cards with swatches
and distribute them for a fee to make up some of the expense. There may
be others even on this list who may be interested in sharing the
investment.
