Thank you for posting.
It was probably back in the 1980s that I saw a set of cards published by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Blocks of colour, similar in general style to the cards that B&Q and the like used to have free that showed the range of colours for decorating paint, but the RHS ones were colours related to flowers and lots of colours and each block of colour had a hole about a quarter of an inch in diameter in the middle. The idea being that one placed the areas of printed colour over a flower to try to match the colour of the flower to a colour on the card, and thereby get a code or name, I don't know which, to describe the colour of the flower.
