Will the Color Catalog work on my device?
The Color Catalog works on any device that can read an interactive PDF. This includes computers, iPads, iPhones, and most Android tablets or phones. Some tablets or phones may require additional software that you can download for free, such as Xodo or Adobe Reader.
Can I buy the Color Catalog as a printed/physical book you send to me?
The Color Catalog is only available as a digital download, NOT a physical book, however the new Color Cube™ provides all the same color palettes as cards you can hold.
What’s the difference between the Color Catalog and the Companion?
The Color Catalog is an interactive color palette guide. The Companion is a printable add-on that allows you to swatch your pencils and markers to the palettes from The Color Catalog. The original Color Catalog is still the easiest and quickest way to find a color palette for inspiration. The Companion is not intended to be used on its own (although it can be purchased separately).
What brands are supported in the Color Catalog Companion?
Pencils: Prismacolor Premier, Faber-Castell Polychromos, Caran D’Ache Luminance, Black Widow, Derwent Colorsoft, Derwent Inktense, Derwent Artist, Castle Arts Gold, Arteza Expert
Markers: Copic Sketch, Ohuhu Alcohol Brush Markers, Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, Tombow Dual Brush Pens
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.
How accurate are the colors?
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 am enjoying trying out my different brands of pencils having printed off the blank companion pages for each of the four pencil sets I have. I Usually really enjoy swatching pencils but I have to say that so far with the Prismas and Polychromos I am rather disappointed with the colour match suggestions. I am not going off my printed sheets nor my screen but generally the cards and for the most part a lot of your suggestions are nothing like a near match. I have basically given up on them now as so disappointed. One example I have just done is 013 a beautiful yellow rose with your main colour suggestion being a mustard. Wrong!

My mistake for not reading more into what I was buying. I liked have a color group but I wrongly assumed that there were also individual color chips. I am wanting to pick my favs and make my own groups, yet not ready invest in Pantone colors.
