Dense extended-palette page laying out ten named colour groups as columns, each a vertical run of tints and shades footed with full Hex, RGB, CMYK, and Pantone specs.
Summary
The extended-palette page: ten named colour groups (reds, cool greens, warm greens, warm blues, cool blues, cool purples, warm purples, pinks, browns, plus neutrals/yellows) laid out as columns of graduated tints and shades, each swatch fully spec'd.
Visual description
Standard layout: cream left column with section number "2.5.2 Extended palette"; navigation list lower-left with Colour bolded. The white panel is a dense swatch matrix. Across the top, column headers name colour families (Reds, Cool greens, Warm greens, Warm blues, Cool blues, Cool purples, Warm purples, Pinks, Browns, Yellows, plus White, Natural, Stone, Greyscale neutrals). Under each header runs a vertical stack of swatches stepping from light to dark, each labelled with a code (1A, 1B, 1C...) and listing Hex, RGB, CMYK, and Pantone values in tiny type. The overall effect is a full reference grid covering dozens of colours. The cream footer carries copyright, document title, and "Version 01".
Key takeaway
The systematic naming and spec discipline: every colour belongs to a named family and a light-to-dark code (AA to D), and every swatch carries all four production values. That structure makes a large palette searchable and unambiguous rather than overwhelming. Organising by colour family in columns lets a designer scan to the right hue then pick a tint.
Reuse notes
A reusable extended-palette reference for brands with a large colour system. The family-columns plus light-to-dark-codes plus four-value-spec structure is the key takeaway and transfers to any guideline. It is intentionally dense; pair it with the smaller primary-palette and sub-palette pages that curate from it so designers are not forced to choose from everything at once.
