Every colour file in ColourSys has a search box at the top of the window, in which you can tpye in names and numbers to find your colour.

Type in or paste a name, or part of a colour name into the search bar and ColourSys will automatically highlight the chip in the colour file.

If you are using PANTONE®®® colour files in AVA and are looking for a specific shade, you do not need to type the word ‘PANTONE®®’. Instead, simply begin entering the reference number (including the hyphen) in the search bar and the corresponding colour will appear highlighted in the file.
