From Neenah Paper comes Think Ink: Color Unleashed, a free application for the iPhone and iTouch. Designers build colour palettes from the palm of their hands using the Dewey Color system. Once a colour is selected, Think Ink presents various palettes like subdued, traditional and blended. From there, the palette can be placed on Neenah papers to see which works best. The custom colour can then be saved and e-mailed, and co-ordinating samples can be shopped and ordered, directly from the iPhone. www.neenahpaper.comFinch takes Color Copy line digital
