Rainbow & Tonal Color Selector Color Wheels and Tools

What makes the Rainbow Color Wheels Unique?

Color coordination is sometimes difficult for quilters. Your computer quilt is on the screen but you are stumped for sound color direction. Also, questions come up when working with a favorite fabric like, " Now what?" OR you want to add the edge to your quilt and make your fabric combination just a little different from everyone else. Well quilters cheer up, help is here!

The Color Selectors are 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 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

Red and Green to help determine fabric value
NOTE: More Info below

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 colors and red for warm colors eliminates these problems
