I had heard of this colour system before but had no idea what it was or what its purpose served. I think it would be convenient for designers as sometimes the colour can appear different on a screen compared to when it’s printed. This would avoid wasting time trying to print the correct shade or tone of colour. Also, it would be handy to have all the hex codes in front of you without having to search for it online.

We wouldn’t really use this type, you’d only use it if you needed a product or walls painted using your brand colours using either a powder costing, varnish or plastic colouring. I’m familiar with seeing this in paint shops when trying to pick the correct shade for a room in your house. It’s a good way of knowing if you like the colour before trying it out on the wall.
<aside> 💡 Three colours are evenly spaced on the colour wheel. It provides a high contrast colour scheme, making it more adaptable.

I had never seen this colour combination before, but I think I want to explore it more for my banking app colours to see what sort of colours I could potential use. I might look at it for my secondary colour palette.
