SCOTDIC books do not change each season which makes the SCOTDIC system is a permanent resource
of dyed color.

How does SCOTDIC work?
SCOTDIC is a visual color order system, which means the colors in the SCOTDIC system are arranged
according to how people see color. SCOTDIC uses the Munsell system of identifying color according to
hue, value and chroma. In this system, all achievable colors are first divided in to hue families. 54 hue
families are represented in the SCOTDIC system. Each individual color is then given a notation
according to its degree of gray and brightness. Since the colors are arranged according to the Munsell
system, colors of the same weight have a similar notation.

All replacements are dyed on fabric and are available in four sizes SCOTDIC colors are never printed on
paper.

Who uses SCOTDIC?
Basically anyone who needs a consistent, replaceable source of fabric color standards can use
SCOTDIC.
