There is NO need to know color theory, because the back of each color family card has the Color Wheel solutions spelled out with a color chart showing the Monochromatic, Complementary, Analogous, Split-complementary, and Triad solutions

Pick a favorite color or fabric

Match the color to one of the 24 Color Cards and 100s of individual swatches, numbered for your convenience

Each Color Card features one pure color with 16 variations specific to the color family in tints (white added), shades (black added) and tones (gray added.) Once your color scheme has been chosen, use each color's Color Card to help you determine your colors or fabrics. NOTE: It is not possible to include every possibility for a color, so you match to the closest family. Care has been taken to ensure that a complete range of colors has been addressed.

Choose a color scheme from the 6 options provided for each color

Find the Color Card for each color in the color scheme

Select Fabrics that match the Color Cards

Value Finder (red and green translucent plastic) Use to view and determine contrast without the distractions of color. Using the Value Finder will help you determine which color on the Color Card is the correct value.

The color wheel schemes are defined on two cards with brief descriptions. For example: Complementary: Select two colors that lie opposite each other on the color wheel.

Rainbow Color Selector & Tonal Color Selector

Pick, Point & Match -- yes it is that easy!

The Rainbow Color Selector is the perfect color wheel to do just that because it is designed with see-through windows to place your fabric behind (see picture above), then the fun begins as the Rainbow Color Selector geometric shapes point out the perfect color combinations for you to try (see picture above).

Easy to Use:

• Pick a main color by placing your FABRIC, paint chip, fiber, or paper under the closest match see-through window.
• Point to your fabric window to one of the easy-to-see geometric shapes that create color matching schemes to help you out.
• Match the numbers built into the color match.
• YES, it is that easy!

Plus: Each Rainbow Color Selector comes with a plain language guide that is easy to understand as it explains color combinations suggestions. What a great aide to the quilter who needs some help in the color confidence area.

Color Evaluator II

Viewing multiple fabrics through the red and green plastic strips reveals which fabrics are light, medium, or dark value. The red and green color of the plastic strips filter out the color information and leaving only the value of the selected fabrics you are evaluating. Knowing the value of the fabric before placing them in a quilt gives you the confidence and knowledge needed to choose which patches will be light, medium or dark and interact the way you expect in the block.

Use these tools helps prevent over use of fabrics with similar values and helps establish the dimension of a design. Use Red filter with Warm colors (red, yellow, orange, green) and use Green Filter with Cool colors (red violet, purple, blue, blue-green.)

Why green and red? Red has been used mostly in past color evaluator strips and the problem is viewing red fabrics through the evaluator produced very mixed results because of the similarity in color, thus using Green for cool clors and red for warm colors eleminates these problems.
