“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!

“I'm obsessed”
I've been using my cards for everything. Clothes, quilts, interior design. I love them so much. Such a well thought out system and the cards are so well designed it makes it so quick and easy to understand.

“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!

My mom’s a quilter and struggles with colors. This was the perfect gift to help her use her fabric stash and think outside the box when it comes to colors. We also used it to decorate a bedroom and put together an outfit just in the first day! So excited to see where all this little tool comes in handy
Being used to The Who pms array of colors, this was disappointing
I have never used a color tool before but I have enjoyed playing with the Palette Scout. I have tried a few of the challenge cards and come up with some color combinations that I would not have on my own. I will continue to use the Palette Scout and incorporate it into my art practice.
