       24 . A device in accordance with  claim 23 , wherein a number of the more than two panels is one of an even number and at least four panels.  
   
   
       25 . A device in accordance with  claim 20 , wherein the cards are made of one of paper and plastic.  
   
   
       26 . A device in accordance with  claim 20 , wherein the cards arranged on a the at least two panels are one of approximately the same size and are arranged staggered with respect to one another.  
   
   
       27 . A device in accordance with  claim 20 , wherein the cards are one of approximately L-shaped and approximately V-shaped in cross section with at least one side piece that visibly shows the at least one color.  
   
   
       28 . A device in accordance with  claim 20 , wherein the cards are one of approximately L-shaped and approximately V-shaped in cross section having at least one long side piece that visibly shows the at least one color and/or at least one short side is detachably attached to at least one panel of the at least two panels.  
   
   
       29 . A device in accordance with  claim 27 , wherein a folding line arranged between the at least one long side and the at least one short side forms at least one hinge axis about which the at least one long side pivots.  
   
   
       30 . A device in accordance with  claim 20 , wherein the color samples are printed color samples.  
   
   
       31 . A device in accordance with  claim 20 , wherein at least one of the cards is pivotally detachably attached about at least one hinge axis to a panel of the at least two panels, such that when the at least one card is folded open, another card, which is positioned beneath the at least one card, becomes at least partially visible.  
   
   
       32 . A device in accordance with  claim 31 , wherein the another card is positioned beneath the at least one card and partially visible to an extent of one of 50% or more and 80% to 90%.  
   
   
       33 . A device in accordance with  claim 20 , wherein two or more the color samples are arranged along at least one hinge axis, whereby a plurality of the cards are pivotally detachably attached about the at least one hinge axis.  
   
   
       34 . A device in accordance with  claim 33 , wherein the at least one hinge axis runs parallel to the one or more spine.  
   
   
       35 . A device in accordance with  claim 34 , wherein the at least one hinge axis comprises hinge axes positioned respectively on a same side of the at least two panels arranged adjacent one another.  
   
   
       36 . A device in accordance with  claim 34 , wherein the at least one hinge axis comprises hinge axes symmetrically arranged to the spine arranged between the at least two panels.  
   
   
       37 . A device in accordance with  claim 20 , wherein a closure device ensures the at least two panels remain in the first closed position.  
   
   
       38 . A device in accordance with  claim 37 , wherein the closure device comprises at least two magnets.  
   
   
       39 . A device in accordance with  claim 38 , wherein at least one magnet of the at least two magnets is arranged in each panel of the at least two panels to provide a detachable closure effect for the first closed position of the at least two panels, and a magnetic effect of which is determined to allow the at least two panels to remain in the second open position of the at least two panels.  
   
   
       40 . A device in accordance with  claim 20 , wherein at least one further panel of the at least one panel pair is detachably attached to at least one side of the at least panel pair, and that a narrow spine of the one or more spine is provided between the panel pair and the further panel, such that the narrow spine is narrower than the one or more spine arranged between the at least two panels of the at least one panel pair.  
   
   
       41 . A device in accordance with  claim 40 , wherein a closure device ensures the at least two panels remain in the first closed position, such that the closure device is positioned in an approximately half of the at least two panels remote from the narrow spine.
