Bought a $30 color palette book and it changed how I pick shades

I was at a used bookstore last Saturday and grabbed this little color palette book for $30. The woman at the counter said "try matching your photos to the pages instead of picking colors from scratch." I did that for a logo project and the client said the colors looked more natural than my usual stuff. Has anyone else used a reference book like that for choosing color schemes?

That little book sounds like a solid shortcut, I've had good luck using Pantone swatches from a thrift store the same way.
