Choosing colors just became more fun.
Choosing colors that work well together can be challenging. But trying to master the color wheel and grasping color theory can feel like assembling a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle without the picture.
There is an easier way that can take the stress out of selecting your colors, helping you to create with confidence quickly.
Introducing Color Cube®, your colorful box of reference cards that makes choosing colors for any project easy and fun. Simply pick a card, match your supplies, and begin creating with confidence!
Experience colors in a whole new way
The Color Cube comes in 2 volumes, each containing 250 color combinations as cards. These handy cards make choosing colors a breeze.
Each card features an image to inspire you, along with a set of the 5 to 6 colors featured in the image. Once you’ve chosen a card, simply find your art supplies to match these colors, no matter whether you’re coloring with pencils or creating a beautiful quilt with colored fabrics and threads.
Just like laying out paint swatches on a wall before deciding on the perfect shade, you can line up the Color Cube cards next to one another or against your project to compare your favorite color schemes and decide which colors will work best for you.
Flip the card over to find hex codes – a digital artist’s best friend for color matching. With colors right up to the edge, it’s easy to hold them against whatever you’re working with, whether it’s papercrafts or polymer clay. You will also find darker and lighter shades of each color so you can easily make adjustments to your palette.
Something about holding these palette cards in your hands makes choosing colors feel more personal. Whether you want to make a quick start on a project or want to challenge yourself to try colors you wouldn’t normally think to use, using the Color Cube feels like flipping through your favorite magazine to find the perfect inspiration for your project.
It’s a personal, straightforward way to pick out color combinations that just doesn’t compare to looking at colors on a screen.
Plus, the Color Cube will look great on your shelf.
More Tools for Your Color Journey:
Introducing Color Catalog and Companion
The Color Cube works alongside the Color Catalog and Companion, giving you tools to suit your creative process.
The Color Catalog is a digital interactive color palette guide that lets you search quickly through the 500 color palettes included within the Color Cube Volumes 1 & 2. Available in a bundle or as a standalone product, the Color Catalog allows you to filter through the full collection of color ideas. You can browse by colors, collections or keywords such as ‘landscape’ or ‘moody’, allowing you to quickly find exactly what you are looking for.
The Color Catalog also includes reference numbers for each palette, allowing you to find the matching Color Cube card easily.
Once you find a color palette that feels right, you can use the Color Catalog Companion – a printable add-on that allows you to swatch your pencils or markers to the palettes from the Color Catalog (or Color Cube). My team and I have done the work for you, and found the color matches for some of the most popular brands of pencils and markers so you don’t have to guess which pencil to grab.
“These tools have become a core part of my creative process, challenging me to try colors that I would never usually think to try. Using them has increased my love for color and my intuition in choosing good color combinations, and I’m confident they can do the same for you.” – Sarah Renae Clark

I LOVE the Color Catalogs! I have both volumes and my only regret is that I didn’t order them both at the same time. They are perfect! I am a card maker and this makes my cards look amazing! If I have an item that is the main focus of the card- I just match that color to a color combination and I start creating. It sames me so much time. I no longer struggle wondering what will work! This is a game changer! Thank you for putting this together! You make my cards look great!

This has taken all the guess work out of choosing colors and made coloring less stressful. I used to agonize over color palettes for my work but no more. And I find my color palette is broader and I am using a wider array of colors now plus experimenting with techniques because I am no longer obsessing over my colors. Thank you Sarah!

The Color Catalog is the best tool I have, besides my color pencils. It makes color selection so much faster and better. The Color Catalog is very easy to use and search through the various options of holidays, seasons, landscapes, topics, etc. You can print out individual color palettes and resize each on your printer to what works best for you. Being able to swatch your own pencils to the color palettes makes such a difference. I never do any art work without The Color Catalog

I’ve just purchased my first home, and I’ve been nervous about decorating! I’ve always been worried that my tastes were too weird or I’d pick accent colors that clashed instead of complimented. The Color Catalog has really helped me feel confident about my choices! I’ve picked color palettes for 4 rooms in my house and have used the colors to match my existing furniture and to pick out accents and paint colors. I’m so glad I found the Color Catalog!

I purchased the Color Catalog bundle and I looooove it!! As an artist, I work with resin, oils and with alcohol inks. I would often get bogged down in color choices and combos. This system has allowed me to pin point color combos quickly and make use of colors that I traditionally wasn’t using.

You can include your suggestions for new brands to be included in the survey here. Existing customers will be given access to new brands as they are added, at no extra cost.
Colors will vary between different screens, different devices, different printers and different brands of pencils or markers. Furthermore, because colored pencils come in limited ranges, not every color has a matching pencil, so I’ve provided what I believe is the closest match possible with each range, based on the manufacturers swatches, the actual products, and my own printed swatches and palettes. The hex codes, RGB & CMYK values are based on the original colors from the digital Color Catalog, not the printed Color Cube™.

I’d been waiting to purchase The Complete Color Catalog Bundle and I’m sorry I didn’t get it sooner. With no professional training, color choices are hard. This bundle makes it so easy. The Color Catalog Companion is a must so just take the plunge and buy the whole set! You won’t be sorry.

One of the smartest and best purchases I’ve ever made! This Catalog, both volumes and the Companion, are the most comprehensive tool I’ve ever had to help me easily and quickly be able to choose a palette for ANY picture. Not only that, but with the Companion I can even know exactly which set of pencils or markers I want to use for the palette and have an EXACT color match! I love this thing!!! So do I recommend it??? HELL YES It’s absolutely a “Shut up and take my money!” product 100%

The Colour Catalogue and Coloured Pencil Companion have proven to be a terrific purchase and brilliant value for money for the incredible amount of work that has gone into producing them. They are fantastically easy to use and it is very exciting to look at all the colour possibilities. I found that they gave this beginner colourist a lot of confidence in that even if my technique is not yet great, the colours still look great together. Having the Pencil Companion also supports confidence by helping you pick the right colours from your pencil stash. By taking the stress out of ‘which colours and which pencils’, it leaves one free to focus on the creativity and fun of playing with the colours knowing that it is all going to look good at the end. I am delighted with the product.
