"Great way to explore color theory
I tend to choose the same palettes over and over again, and I was getting bored. I understood basic color theory, but never bothered much with a color wheel because the color depictions on them are so garish and unappealing. Using the Palette Scout I quickly realized the patterns in my color choices and found strategic suggestions for livening them up. I definitely recommend using it with the tool kit because it adds so many other ways to explore color combinations, especially proportionality. I feel less daunted by taking on a dye project or shopping for weaving yarns because I will feel more confident about the colors I am combining and how I will use them!"

Needs better instructions.
Im still figuring it out rightt now.
Great asset yo my quilting!
Honestly, this is one of my favorite things right now. I have been using it for garden planning/paint color schemes and plan to use it for knitting and other crafts! It is SO well made and thought through and a delight. I highly recommend getting this! I already love color and color theory, but this thing makes me love it even more - so much still to learn and play with!
I consider myself to be pretty good at picking colors. But I was struggling with a cross stitch I was designing — my navy blue, true red, and yellow color combo was just BLAH. I hated it. I bought Palette Scout, and WOW am I impressed. It’s easy to use, and I quickly figured out a slight shift in my color palette (ocean, ibis, and carrot) that made a HUGE difference. My cross stitch is adorable, in big part to Palette Scout. I’ve started designing a second cross stitch, and I started from the beginning picking colors with Palette Scout. Highly, highly recommend!
