“a must-have!”
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 that made a HUGE difference. My cross stitch is adorable, in big part to Palette Scout. Highly, highly recommend!

“This is AMAZING - I'm obsessed”
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!

If I could give Zollie Palette Scout 10 stars out of 5 I would. The product is surprisingly simple to use and produces predictably beautiful palette results. I use it for quilting primarily. I now think in color families. The system is genius and one can't help but be successful in making stunning palettes. I am both a quilter as well as the owner of a longarm quilting business. Because of how Palette Scout has changed my color selection workflow, I have begun offering this to my customers with an incredibly positive response. This weekend I am a vendor at a local quilt show and brought 2 cases of Zollie with me to sell to my customers since I am a stockist. I had the opportunity to demonstrate Zolile and talk about how to use it. I had so much confidence in the system that I asked several volunteers to come up and make palettes. Their smiles said it all. My customers were intrigued. While the quilt show is two days in length, I sold out in one day. What a great problem to have. There are so many quilters out there looking for a color selection solution. I'm a Zollie user and believer! The experience I have had so far as a stockist has further convinced me that having this tool available to my customers is essential.
Palette Scout
I am so delighted with the quality of the color cards in this set. It fosters such an easy way for me to select colors to combine for my paper crafting and mixed media projects!
Trying to color quilts on my own lead to frustration and anxiety. I resigned myself to only using kits. Realizing I could learn color has been enlightening. Finding Pallet Scout has really helped me understand color theory and why some combinations feel good and others kind of off. I recommend!
As a paper crafter & quilter I love the rich colours! I’ve used the Scout deck several times and am loving the results!
