This is a full update and second edition of the Color Cube Volume 1 and 2. The boxes themselves are getting an update, and the palette cards have been reviewed and recategorized for a better experience.
Out of the original 500 palettes from the First Edition, 100 have been retired.
Alongside the new Volumes 1 and 2, the introduction of Volumes 3 and 4 gives more opportunities for better categories and variety, so any box has a huge range of colour choices on its own, without needing all 4.
There are a lot of other updates still to be announced, so it may be best to wait for the full launch before making a decision on which Color Cube is best for you.
Here’s the full breakdown of the changes to the palette cards:
Volume 1 (2nd Edition) keeps 160 from 1st Edition. I’ve moved 25 from Volume 2 (1st Ed.) and created 65 new palettes.
Volume 2 (2nd Edition) keeps 124 from 1st Edition. I’ve moved 15 from Volume 1 (1st Ed.) and created 111 new palettes.
Volume 3 (2nd Edition) includes 187 new palettes, plus 17 from Volume 1 (1st Ed.) and 46 from Volume 2 (1st Ed.).
Volume 4 (2nd Edition) includes 219 new palettes, plus 13 from Volume 1 (1st Ed.) and 18 from Volume 2 (1st Ed.).

I was so excited to get to crafting as soon as they arrived. I got them open and went to work! I have always struggled with putting colors together and this takes the thought out of it and the process so easy and fun.

I ordered Volumes 1and 2 some months ago. I also ordered the two newest volumes. I love the new volumes. The cards are smooth to the touch making them easy to shuffle through a handful of cards. The colors are brighter. While I haven’t set up the boxes with the dividers yet, I think this feature will be faster to select the cards I want.

They’re bigger and sturdier than I was expecting. The box is heavy and has a satisfying hard thump if you tap it, definitely not flimsy. The cards are stiff and rigid enough they won’t be easily damaged thumbing through them. I am absolutely pleasantly surprised by the quality.
The color choices and matching are great and take a little edge off if you have color anxiety when choosing aesthetically pleasing palettes. I haven’t seen any repeating palettes or come across any jarring, questionable color choices.
Also, it’s such a small thing, but it makes the organizational nerd in me squeal: the tabs are useful in both directions, with names on one side and numbers on the other! :)
They’re great to use and gorgeous to look at too if keeping your space comfy is a priority.
I think my only complaint, and it’s not even worth docking any points for… is the number stickers. They look a bit awkward when used. I think I might’ve preferred white numbers with a transparent background, or maybe a smaller sticker? I tried using them but ended up taking them off because I wasn’t a fan.

Absolutely thrilled! So many new palettes and the index cards are a really great addition. They make finding a suitable card so much easier. Order was very well packaged and arrived really quickly. Outstanding quality and customer service. Thank you so much Sarah

I love the new Colour Cubes! I own the original 2 Colour Cubes and they have been a life saver because I love my colouring books but truly have colour block or Colour Anxiety as one YouTuber describes this state. But there were draw backs such as getting the cards out, having to rifle through 500 cards to get the colour scheme that called out to me and then sticking a piece of paper into the gap because I like to keep the card out of the pack for reference while I am working so that can I include additional colours/pencils as needed, and then return the card quickly without having to go through the cards and end up with crushed cuticles. The new Cubes address all those problems and more, additional space to keep the cards while sorting, not to mention the addition of some 600 new cards. I am lucky to be able to afford the complete new set although strictly speaking it is a Christmas present from my hubby, and I will be passing on my old set to a friend who builds and paints fantastic models. I cannot wait to dive into them, so thank you Sarah and all your lovely team for all your hard work.
Best regards Jacky

I had Sarah’s original digital version and loved looking through it, but had never ordered the Cubes. When I saw that she had completely revamped the digital and Color Cube sets, I immediately opted for the new digital version. But, I have always wanted the Color Cubes, so Sarah kindly changed my order for digital AND Color Cubes. I could not possibly be happier. I have literally been a crafter since I was old enough to hold a crayon. Color is my jam! Even if I never opened the boxes, it just makes me happy to see those beautiful rainbows sitting in my craft room! The cards are phenomenal – stunning pictures, well-thought-out system, and excellent quality. Unless inspiration in a box. I truly can’t imagine that anyone wouldn’t love owning Color Cubes!!!

It was packaged beautifully. My wife is so excited to use the color cubes, it was suppose to be a Christmas present, but she just could not wait to open them!
