Colour Sample Clock

Before I start this instructable I have to give credit to gmjhowe's Pantone Clock.

This is my interpretation using a Dulux  paint colours of New Zealand sample book.
 

Step 1 Materials

The materials used are:

• Dulux Colours of New Zealand sample book.
• Cheap clock (just needed the clock mechanism).
• 25cm x 25cm x 3mm frosted acrylic sheet.
• Double sided tape.
• PVA interior glue.

Excellent! I like this one, it looks a bit more like the 'official' pantone clock!

Thank you for taking the time to actually write it up and share.

I'm quite happy how it turned out. 
No problem, this was my first instructable and I had been meaning to write one up for a while but never got around to it, until now.

I thought this was a clock made out of a cd. The color arrangement fooled me. Nice job!

Does the clock mechanism have to be in a certain range of size? Or will any size work. I'm going to buy one off of Amazon and it's about 2 3/16'' and i was wondering if it's too small or too big.

The clock you made looks fantastic and I'm looking forward to hanging it up over my desk in my room for all to see.

The size it totally up to you. I really designed the middle hole so I could see the whole clock mechanism through the acrylic, but its not necessary.

Brilliant clock and idea, I want to make one myself. I live in the UK and can't find any colour samples, any ideas? No-one seems to make them.

Well I went to my local hardware store looking to just take the "free" samples but ended up buying a sample book. You could maybe request one on a paint shop website.
