An architectural paint color display system comprises a plurality of displays each having a two dimensional array of architectural paint color samples showing paint colors from only one of a plurality of non-overlapping contiguous portions of a color space. Each of such color space portions is defined as the space of all colors within a band of hues within the color space. Each of said color space portions is exclusively represented by one of the displays, and each of the displays represents only one of said color space portions, such that there is a one-to-one correspondence between displays and color space portions. The paint color samples have in one dimension of the arrays an increasing value and in the other dimension of the arrays an increasing chroma. The displays are preferably arranged in a three-row or six-row matrix. Each row of the matrix displays color space portions in the same sequence that such portions appear in the color space. Advantageously, each column of displays within the matrix shows color space portions that are generally split-complementary or five-way harmnonious.</PTEXT>
