Digital Colour Cube: 2nd Edition

This subscription won’t be bundled into the existing options, as it’s under a different payment system. So you can still order everything else and be confident you’re getting the best deal possible on all the 2^nd Edition products.

Great question! 

The main purpose of this update was to make some improvements to Volume 1 and 2, based on customer feedback. I’ve introduced tabs, updated the box, and redesigned more logical categories (while keeping variety in each cube for people who just want one)

Part of this included retiring 100 palettes from Volume 1 and 2, and expanding the range to include Volume 3 and 4.

The biggest change of all comes with the digital experience.

I’ll continue to share more over the coming weeks, and hopefully help make sense of how the new system works, and why we made the changes.

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.).

All of the colour palettes have been renumbered and recategorised for a better overall experience. Each Volume includes a mix of palettes from the original Volumes 1 and 2, along with new palettes.

Volume 1 (2nd Edition) includes 65 new palettes, 160 from Volume 1 (1st Edition) and 25 from Volume 2 (1st Edition).
Volume 2 (2nd Edition) includes 111 new palettes, 15 from Volume 1 (1st Edition) and 124 from Volume 2 (1st Edition).
Volume 3 (2nd Edition) includes 187 new palettes, 17 from Volume 1 (1st Edition) and 46 from Volume 2 (1st Edition).
Volume 4 (2nd Edition) includes 219 new palettes, 13 from Volume 1 (1st Edition) and 18 from Volume 2 (1st Edition).

We understand the desire to upgrade, and transitions between product versions are always tricky. If you’ve ordered recently, please reach out to my team. For orders that haven’t shipped, we can sometimes make an exchange. We can’t accept refunds or exchanges on products that have already been shipped. If you purchased within the past few months, please also reach out and we’ll see what we can do! 

Yes, the cards are the same size and printed on the same high-quality matte finish.

The Colour Catalog and Companion are being replaced with a new online experience. Existing customers will still have lifetime access to download their First Edition Catalogs and Companions. The new experience builds on all the feedback from the originals, and adds many new features (still to be announced).

You can purchase Volumes 1 & 2 as one set, Volumes 3 & 4 as another, or 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 as a bundle. Each volume is also available individually.

Not at all. Your current cubes still work perfectly. But the new version has enough improvements and new palettes that many customers will want to upgrade.

This 2^nd Edition is a replacement for the original Cubes, not intended as a separate series. The new version significantly improves on the First Edition Volumes 1 and 2 and includes new palettes and updated features. 100 colour palettes from the original Cubes have been retired in this update.

We still have limited stock of the original 1st Edition Colour Cubes (Volumes 1 and 2). These won’t be reprinted, so once they sell out, they’re gone.

We’re rolling out more information every few days on social media, and Sarah will show everything in detail during the launch on YouTube on October 24th.
