A color reference system for correlating colors to decorating parameters for an area. The system includes a color reference card for storage of a color sample and an associated identifier for correlating the color sample to an identifier. Area reference cards for different rooms or locations include decorating parameters such as primary, accent, and accessory color identifiers. When a color sample corresponds to a decorating parameter for a location, its identifier is recorded in association with the decorating parameter. The system may be transported to a decorating or paint store for efficient reference. By looking at a decorating parameter for an area and using the color identifier to find the color sample on the color reference card, a user can quickly find a color sample for comparison purposes without carrying color palettes having color samples which do not correspond to colors in an area to be decorated.
