Committed to customer-friendly policies

True, our prices cannot be beaten - and there is good reason now to register under more than one key word, or communicate your portfolio through several adverts: for everyone who decides to book four categories for the presentation simultaneously (say, "Designer" and "Author") or, alternatively, to combine different modes of presentation (e. g. Text Only plus Text/Picture with logo), the fifth category comes free (must carry identical invoice address)! Simply quote "Collective Order 4 + 1" when booking.

Why is it that our prices are unbeatable? The answer is simple: our Colour directory needs to be as comprehensive as possible. This is how you profit from it - and us. Additionally, administration is much more efficient with a standardized, easy system than with complex media tariffs. And we let you benefit from it.

And: with us, you only book what you really want. For example, there is no tacit "automatic" extension of contracts or booking periods; if you wish to continue the booking, you have the privilege to renew - there are no skelettons in the cupboard!

After putting your order, you receive a Booking Confirmation. After the contract has been fulfilled on our side, you will be issued an invoice. For this and all other details, please also refer to the • Terms of Business (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen AGB). •

Meet our readers - all over the world

Even before its official launch in Cologne, on the "FARBE" Trade Fair (6-9 April 2005), the highly ambitious ColourCompass project has enjoyed tremendous support: hundreds of users did contact our website to find out more about the launch, and join us in this courageous undertaking.

Leading experts in colour design, theory and application were similarly enthusiastic, as the "Farb Info" colloquium at Hildesheim University of Applied Arts (October 2004), or the AIC Congress "Colour 05" in Granada, Spain (May 2005) have shown. Both the structure and the rationale behind ColourCompass were warmly received. In a word: this unique service of an information resource is already meeting excitement.

It is also easy to tell the success of ColourCompass in the sheer number of readers, from the graphs below; if you are interested in a more detailed analysis, the page with the • statistics • can give you every month from 2005 to 2008.
The figures prove it, the reception supports it: and now is the time for you to • contact us to reach the professionals in the world of Colour! •

The readership of our • Newsletter • is rapidly growing.
The Newsletter appears with no more than two issues per month, currently as a plain text version; in the nearer future, it will be up-graded to a html-version.
This bilingual Newsletter is an ideal medium for your communication, especially for short-termed projects or those designed for a smaller target group.


On behalf of Colour, we act on the European stage

The online information resource ColourCompass | FarbenKompass is active on the Colour Scene all over Europe - and communicates your and our concern through pro-active PR.

ColourCompass has already had its successful premiere on the annual colloquiums of the German Centre for Colour "Deutsches Farbenzentrum", "Farb Info", where we met an enthusiastic reception through the German colour specialists.

In May 2005, we have introduced the systematics of, and rationale behind ColourCompass through paper and poster-presentation on "Colour '05" of the International Association for Colour (AIC) at Granada, Spain. At Granada, we had an opportunity to discuss our views on how a modern information service for colour should be structured with some of the leading scholars in the field. Not surprisingly, since the "Colour '05" event, ColourCompass has met with an ever increasing international readership.
