Cartographer's Toolkit

*Those who’ve already purchased the booklet can get the file too – just comment here, email, or DM me on twitter

When you purchase Colors For Maps it now comes with a free .style file that you can load into ArcGIS and have instant access to all the colors in the booklet. All the colors in the coordinated and differentiated palettes sections can be selected by their page and color number in the ArcMap color selector. The colors from all three sections can be selected in the color ramps selector as well.

The colors are all organized by the page number that they correspond to in the booklet. I hope that makes them easy to find and use. If you don’t know how to get a .style file to work in ArcMap, here’s a link to a Mapping Center article on how to use them in ArcGIS 10.

You will notice one black and white color at the end of each set. This was the only way to make it so each page was on its own line in the selector box, since the booklet contains 10 colors per page while ArcGIS has room for 12 colors per line.
