Color Material Finish

I came on board with Microsoft Hardware just as the evaluation units for this new mouse were coming back from the manufacturer. I jumped in and did some deep trend research for the coming year and emerged with a nice pallet that ended up gaining a lot of attention and selling really well. A great way to start out at a new company!

One of the greatest resources for the designers at Msft is our model shop. One of our model makers specializes in color matching. It's quite a science but more than that, you've really got to have an eye for nuances within color. It was a cool experience working with him and I picked up a whole new vocabulary for talking about color.
