Guide Review - Palettes
If you're put off by the price of this app, you should try the free Lite version first. But remember, if you were to buy an application for your desktop computer with this many features, you'd be paying at least $50. This makes the price quite reasonable for the features. In fact the only thing really missing from this app is Pantone support.
