Get to Know Your Shit with These Twists on the Classic Pantone Swatch

Matt Roach, creative director at Anomaly, has written and designed two humourous colour swatch guides for poo - one for adults, and one for babies. Published by Penguin Random House, the guides are full of fascinating facts, toilet humour, and genuinely useful advice - especially for new parents - that has been approved by doctors. Check out more info about the project below. 

This unique and handy colour swatch book is an entertaining and informative guide to every poo you will ever do. Medically approved by a gastroenterologist and full of pop culture gags, you’ll learn fascinating facts about your faeces, such as:

-Why floaters float

-Why stinkers stink 

-What is and isn't normal

-How to poo like a pro

With 19 turds to compare to your own, including Poopcorn, Ring Stinger and Lumpty Dumpty, this is an essential guide for anyone who gives a crap about their health (or just has an unhealthy obsession with toilet humour).

Most new parents become obsessed with poo – and for good reason. You can find an incredible array of colours in a nappy, and understanding it all is key to a baby's health. Paediatrician-approved and full of top-tips and remedies, this unique and witty swatch book turns the 'poo palette' into a source of amusement, as well as answering vital questions like:

- Is it normal for their poo to look like Dijon mustard?

- What should you do if their nappy resembles an oil spill?

- Why is your baby's bottom going off like Crack-atoa?

Featuring 16 types of turd including Lumpty Dumpty, Peanut Butter Smelly Time and Nuclear Bum, this guide is a perfect gift for any parent with a sense of humour. And to survive parenthood, you're going to need one.

These twists on the classic Pantone swatches are available to purchase, with the baby edition having been released on the 7th of March (and will soon be featured in the UK's biggest parenting magazine).
