Following is the original 1980 set of instructions to hand paint a complete ZeroInfinity Tarot deck, as well as information on how the deck was made.

"This set of instructions is being written to clarify what the exact number of cards in a presently complete deck is, as well as to help in suggesting the colours that could be used in colouring the deck being worked on. The number of cards in a presently complete deck is four hundred and ninety eight (498).

The following is a short description.
- each card is a die-cut circular disc exactly three inches (3 in.) or seven point six two centimeters (7.62 cm.) in diameter.
(a seven inch (7 in.) diameter"meditation Yantra" version of the deck is also available.)
- each card has a die-cut circular hole at its center of exactly (as exact as the materials and the precision of the die-cutter will allow) one forty-ninth of the diameter or point zero six one two inches (.0612 in.) or one point five-five millimeters (1.55 mm.). The hole is 1.55 mm., but the die used for cutting the hole is slightly smaller (1.45 mm.) to allow for paper tearage and distortion. The seven inch (7 in.) or seventeen point seven eight centimeter (17.78 cm.) yantras have a central hole that is one forty-ninth of the diameter or point one four two eight five seven one inches (.1428571 in.) or three point six two eight five seven one four two eight millimeters (3.628571428 mm).

There are presently two (2) main design fields. One pattern starts from the outside edge of the circle going in toward the center with a black/white/black/white pattern. The complemetary field is white/black/white/black. The ratios of all elements are integrally interconnected, with three and seven playing a vital role. For example, the depth of the outer ring is one-seventh of the total diameter. The diameter of each of the three larger inner circles is also one seventh of the total, as is the larger circle in the center. The three larger circles appear to be contracting inwardly. Inside the larger central circle are three smaller circles whose diameters are one seventh of this circle. These small circles are one forty-ninth of the total diameter and they appear to be expanding outwardly. The ratios of the elements of large outer circles and the small inner circles are exactly similar... These are the common elements in all the cards throughout the deck. From hereon there are no two cards that are exactly the same although they do share exactly similar aspects.

In terms of numbers, each type of card will be represented on these pages with a number below it. This represents how many cards of each design there are in a complete deck. It will be noticed that there are a few extra cards present in the deck being worked on. This is just in case there are any "mistakes" made in colouring the deck, although this is obviously just a precaution as it is quite apparent that every effort at putting the colour on the cards will be, just as obviously, a perfect effort.
Before going on with the numbers, it may as well be mentioned what colours might be used in the painting of the deck. There is no arbitrary colouring technique involved, although balance of the colours should be the prime consideration. Without the proper balance of each colour to all the colours, the subtlety and the full impact will not be as noticeable; as well, an imbalance in the colours can produce discordant harmonics. This particular aspect of working with this medium is very important in that a real and serious attention must be paid to creating as perfect a harmony between all the colours as it is possible for one to create. If this effort is not made, then that which could be of benefit to everyone, is diminished. Besides this all important point, the factors of attention to exactness, clarity and brilliance are primary to the transformatory of the equation. Or as may be said in another form, do as do nothing.
The following list of colours are all Liquitex acrylic paint colours. Liquitex is suggested as the colours are a bit more transparent than the Grumbacher, although any fine quality acrylic paint will suffice.
- prism violet
- phthalocyanine blue
- titanium white
- light emerald green
- cadmium yellow light
-naphthol red light
- brilliant orange
- some other additive colours are deep magenta (to darken the red) and iridescent white (to add a sparkly quality to the colours).
Another very practical suggestion might be to share the expense of buying the paints with as many people as possible, as only a small amount of paint is actually needed to paint an entire deck.
It may be noticed that there are thirteen (if there are any more, it is simply an extra) blank white cards. Of these, one (1) is to remain blank white. The other twelve cards are to be coloured the same as the colours in the deck. Specifically, two blank cards are to be coloured completely violet, two blank cards are to be coloured completely blue, two blank cards are to be coloured completely yellow, two blank cards are to be coloured completely red, and two blank cards are to be coloured completely orange. So the total number comes out to 2+2+2+2+2+2+240+240+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 498.
In colouring the cards, it is necessary to colour each card in the same way in terms of order. This is illustrated in the example below.

(V = violet, B = blue, G = green, Y = yellow, R = red, O = orange) V = 1; B = 1a; G = 2; Y = 2a; R = 3; O = 3a BOTH FACE DECKS HAVE THE SAME 240 COLOUR SEQUENCES. ONCE BEGUN, DO NOT CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF COLOURING.

For instance, if the sequence starts with the top circle in the white designated as 1, then 1a will then move either in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, but once a direction has been selected do not use another sequence of colouring, like changing the direction from clockwise to counter-clockwise or vice versa. The example given is going in a clockwise direction. Acrylic paints are recommended using Windsor Newton 0 or 000 brushes, or brushes which are of similar quality.
You are working with the first complete series using this particular design. The following rows of letters representing colours have been taken from a larger number of combinations. Due to the circularity, one card can represent 3 different colour relationships of six colours. That is why, in this set of colouring codes there are 240, not 720 possible combinations. The 720 are represented, but the redundancies have been removed from the list for convenience. Please take your time, do the best you can, and good luck. "

Following are the complete 720 permutations that 6 colors can take in relation to one another using the above design field.
