Werner's Nomenclature of Colours is a book of named colour samples compiled by Abraham Gottlob Werner, and subsequently amended by Patrick Syme.[1] The book, first published in 1814, was used by Charles Darwin in his scientific observations.[2][3] Werner's Nomenclature can be viewed as a predecessor of modern named colour systems such as Pantone.[2] The colours are illustrated and described, and examples shown of their use in ornithological plates in The Anatomy of Colour by Patrick Baty.
