ColourLovers is one of my favorite places to go to get inspired by color palettes, especially when I’m looking to match a specific color with others. This is a featured post via them.

While in recent years the covers of Esquire have featured a man in a suit or an at-least-half-naked woman, this wasn’t always the trend. The art direction was first under the keen eye of Paul Rand from 1936-1941, followed by Henry Wolf from 1952-1958, and Robert Benton from 1958-1964, and during those times the magazine had many smart, creative, engaging and color filled covers.

Here is a selection of Esquire magazine covers between 1946 and 1971. The entire collection can be viewed on their site.
