       A Note About Colors

      For the projects in this book, general colors are given along with brand-specific color numbers. These numbers are suggested colors only; the generic color names preceding them are a guide for what to look for if you are using a different brand or can’t find the specific suggested color, not the actual name associated with the color number given. Use what works for you!
