LA Bantam - Colour Description Part III

As readers of this blog know there are many colour and textual variants of the 28 Bantam Publications books with text covers. I keep finding new ones every few months. The latest is book 23 - Tarzan in the Forbidden City. I knew of two variants, now a third, strong blue/light yellowish green has been added.

In part I of this series I discussed the colour system that I use - ISCC-NSB. Below is the description and number of the seven colours used in the Bantam books. The colours are used in all the possible (ten) combinations.

     primary                                       secondary

strong blue 178                               vivid yellow 82
strong yellowish green 131              light blue 181
                                                      light grey 264
                                                      light orange yellow 70
                                                      light yellowish green 135

The current count of the ten colour combinations is 56:

strong blue/light blue   8
strong blue/light gray   5
strong blue/light yellowish green   3
strong blue/light orange yellow   6
strong blue/vivid yellow   5
strong yellowish green/light blue  10
strong yellowish green/light gray   3
strong yellowish green/light yellowish green   5
strong yellowish green/light orange yellow   8

Here are examples of the three most popular.
