I've been working on an analysis of the 1939 Checklist Color Chart for
several months now with an eye toward writing a detailed article for ROOTS.
There were some patent errors of category assignment, and some apparent

clear patterns emerging as I work and if these patterns hold for the duration
of the analysis, I hope to be able to shead some useful light on the color
