How is this different from The Color Catalog?
The Color Catalog is a digital and interactive color palette guide. This 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.
Can I buy this without The Color Catalog?
Yes, but you’ll get a very good discount by buying them together in the same order. Separately, The Color Catalogs are worth $29 per volume, and the Companion is worth $47. You can get the Complete Color Catalog Bundle including all 3 for $60 (Saving $45).
How accurate are the colors?
Because colors vary between different screens, different devices, different printers and different brands of pencils or markers, it is impossible to guarantee color accuracy. 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. If you are looking for perfect colors for graphic design or professional projects, it is better to refer to the CMYK, RGB and hex codes provided in The Color Catalog.

I have just received these and have not had any time to work with the as yet. They look wonderful and quite a project. I am looking forward to other brands like Polychromos and intense, etc. These are the brands I use most. Thank you Sarah for such a thoughtful addition to my color catalogue.

Amazing Product. I´m not good at putting colors together (I like to color but I’m not an artist), so it is a big help. In few combos are the same colors twice or 3 times (which I don´t know is correct or mistake), however, given the number of combos it is nothing.
The reason I am giving 4 stars (wanted to give five 4,5 but no option for that) is, that I would prefer to buy companions separately (for example I will use Prismacolor and Black Widows – big maybe for Polychromos in the future). So I paid for the product I am gonna use from 1/3 only. I am lucky enough to be able to afford it, but I would still prefer not to pay for what I´m not gonna use.

Really wanted both the catalog and combinations but the differentiation was very clear. However very happy with the product I received and the idea that updates will be provided.

The color catalog is given me ideas for color combinations that are more natural and harmonious when paiting and coloring.

Love my color catalogs and companion. I use my book app to view it and it doesn’t let me just go backward one page I have to go all the way back to the search page to see more in my selection. Maybe I don’t know something but it’s a little “clunky” bc of that.

There are some typos on the Ohuhu sheet, I don’t have it with me at the moment but I believe there are things marked as CG3 which doesn’t exist and the swatches make more sense as GG3 so I’ve just been subbing out for that. Haven’t noticed yet either my Tombow or Prismacolor sheets but the typo with ohuhu is on nearly every page

Some of the colors are off…i.e.; there is no charcoal pencil
