The Colour Catalogue Companion is a printable guide with every colour palette from the Colour Catalogue where my team and I have pre-filled every pencil & marker colour from some of the most popular brands so that you don’t have to go to the effort of finding the best match.
It includes pencil and marker reference numbers for every colour palette in The Colour Catalogue Volumes 1 & 2, PLUS a blank printable version, with 8 colour palettes to a page.
Product Specs:
- Comes in a printable PDF format to print yourself at home.
- Each pencil/marker brand is a separate PDF so you can print the ones you need
- Page size: 8.5” × 11” (US Letter)
- Each companion is 67 pages, approx. 30MB each
How do I use the interactive Colour Catalogue?
The interactive file is designed to work on your computer or tablet devices using a PDF reader. For iPads, this is built in so you don’t need any additional apps, and for Android Tablets you can download Xodo PDF reader from the Google Play store. Find out more here.
Will the Colour Catalogue work on my device?
The Colour Catalogue 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.
What’s the difference between the interactive and printable versions?
The interactive Colour Catalogue includes menus and buttons to help you quickly find the perfect colour palette. You can print from this if you choose, but I’ve included a separate printable version without the buttons and extra pages to save on printing costs. The printable version includes no additional details – it just has the navigational pages removed.
Can I buy the Colour Catalogue as a printed/physical book you send to me?
The Colour Catalogue is not available as a hardcopy book, however the Color Cube provides all the same colour palettes as cards you can hold.
How accurate are the colours?
Because colours vary between different screens, devices, printers, and pencil or marker brands, colour accuracy cannot always be guaranteed.
Because coloured pencils come in limited ranges, not every colour 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 colours for graphic design or professional projects, it is better to refer to the CMYK, RGB and hex codes provided in the Colour Catalogue.
Can I add my own colour palettes to the Colour Catalogue?
No. Each colour palettes in the Colour Catalogue has been created by Sarah Renae Clark. It is a collection, not an app.
What’s the difference between the UK version and US version?
Just the spelling! Color / Colour, Catalog / Catalogue, Gray / Grey – That’s about it! Both versions work wherever you are located.

The following pencils and markers are all supported in The Colour Catalogue Companion:

What’s the difference between the Colour Catalogue and the Colour Catalogue Companion?
The Colour Catalogue is a digital and interactive colour palette guide. The Colour Catalogue Companion is a printable add-on that allows you to match your pencils and markers to the palettes from The Colour Catalogue. The original Colour Catalogue is still the easiest and quickest way to find a colour palette for inspiration.
Can I buy the Colour Catalogue Companion without The Colour Catalogue?
Yes, but you’ll receive a discount by buying them together in the same order.

Yes they are great, I like having them on hand on my phone so I can help find the colours I want to use in a current art project. Great also to be able to print them out so I can try out colours that are close to the colours I want to use on the cards from the Colour Cube.
Melanie Gale (verified owner) –
The Colour Catalogue and Colour Companions are a great buy. It has really has helped and inspired me to get more confident about selecting colours in a way that using a colour wheel never did. I have also found myself studying the guide just for relaxation. At this stage I only bought the catalogue and companion as it met my immediate artistic needs and was what I could afford at the moment but I wouldn’t rule out buying the cubes in the future. Hope there will be catalogues 3&4 in due course. I’ve given the catalogue a plug on my Instagram @melgaleillustration

Yes, I like the printables that I ordered and the fact that I have them on my computer to look at as I have no room for the actual color cubes. The price for the bundle was very reasonable.

Found the blank catalogue companion most helpful. Cant wait to add my Daniel Smith Watercolours onto it!
Cathy Y. (verified owner) –
I haven’t had time to create anything yet, but I have looked through the files and I DO NOT understand why I didn’t get this a long time ago. I have looked at the Color Catalog since the time before the Color Cubes existed! I still decided to go with the catalog and I LOVE it!!!
Carol S. (verified owner) –
I struggle with putting colors together. The color catalog solves that problem! Not only am I able to find a palette based on my favorite color, but I have also been able to experiment with color combinations that I would have never imagined on my own. I love this!

Tammi Rubert (verified owner) –
I love the catalogs, but wish I’d purchased the cubes as well.
Debra (verified owner) –
Great tool for lovers of color and especially those who love all the colors but aren’t always sure which ones are best paired for certain feels or aesthetics. The swatches alongside a picture using those colors has been freeing for me to try new styles and make quick choices without having to agonize over my whole color collection. I used to feel like my coloring was on par with a toddler’s. Now I’m just excited to try the next color combo! This is after all, a relaxing hobby just for my own enjoyment. These tools have brought the fun back!
Sheryl D. (verified owner) –
Makes coloring so much more enjoyable!
tracyleenew (verified owner) –
I originally only bought the cubes, which I love and use regularly. I bit the bullet and purchased the companions and couldn’t be happier. It makes it much simpler to find the cards I want and use it against all the media I have in hand. My Prismacolour pencils don’t match the numbers, but I am sure I will work out what I am doing wrong. I have included a couple of quick sketches from my swatching/ testing sketch book and a multimedia piece I did using these tools. I had a lot of fun just messing around. I’m excited to do something bigger and get in to my colouring books and really put them to the test!
To Sarah’s colouring community, if you can afford it, I recommend purchasing the full bundle, you can save lots of money doing it that way.
Great resource Sara! Love you video’s and thanks for showing the world what we Australians can do!
Debra Wright (verified owner) –
Having the catalog along with the cards really helped me find the colors that I was looking for.

The Color Catalogues made me so excited…I love to watercolor whmiscal pieces-but the colors needed to pop…..and now they will! Thank you!
Dawn Williams (verified owner) –
okay- a lot of problems with check out process and did not get what I wanted to order because of those issues.
Lisa C. (verified owner) –
This color catalog was an excellent purchase choice. I’m excited to have it and to use it as I do my art work. The colors you mixed and came up with are vibrant and look awesome together. The added pictures are great for demonstration for the color palette. I use Prismacolor pencils and it was nice that you had color swatches for that brand along with other brands. Thank you ! Will use this catalog frequently.

I love the digital version, it makes it easy to search for palettes in a variety of ways. Unfortunately the alcohol markers that I have were not one of the ones that you color swatched. Bianyo and Caliart both use the same numbering system but I did not see that system in the printable swatch guides. I can at least do it on my own with the blank one that was also provided, which was nice.
Joyce (verified owner) –
I am color illiterate! This is going to be a great assist for my craft and will get me to expand my normal primary color choices! I am an enamel artist and this will help so much when working on future projects! So happy to have found The Color Catalog!
Jennifer L. (verified owner) –
I am so pleased with the color catalogs, and I’ve already used them to choose colors for a few different projects. Easy to search and with so many beautiful color combinations. I have also used the accompanying color companions to choose the right colors for my Inktense pencils and Tombow markers. Can’t rate these highly enough!
Gail Cutler (verified owner) –
What can I say? You have taken all the hard work out of comparing different collections of markers and pencils. I’ve downloaded the catalogues I need as I love to have a paper copy to refer to. The fact that, for ease, you have also given me the interactive versions is great. You have thought of everything.
Sarah Stevenson (verified owner) –
I absolutely love the colour catalogue and companion, and have already used it to try out some combinations by doodling. I can’t wait to be able to use them for a larger project

Anjali K. (verified owner) –
Great colour combinations, lots of inspiration. I will use the catalog for colouring and other craft projects like knitting or crochet. I do wish the digital catalog had the other side of the card with the light and dark options for each colour like the physical colour cube has.
Louise Bissonnette (verified owner) –
I love them, I find the Color catalogs and Color Companions very useful. I would have preferred to buy the whole bundle with the actual Color Cubes but the shipping to Canada plus probably customs, duty charges is very expensive.

I have several coloring books and find myself using the same colors over and over. So, I asked for this for Christmas from my parents and they got it for me. I downloaded everything, with no problem, and am super excited to use it! (P.S. The review is under my mom’s name since she bought it – lol)
Kelli (verified owner) –
They are very helpful! I would love to have those color groups ready in Procreate rather than copying and adding each color to procreate.

Donnamarie (verified owner) –
Absolutely love. I had fallen victim to repeatedly using the same colors & combinations in my creative projects.. I had my favorite colors that worked for me and I stuck to them.. but I realized that is the exact opposite of being creative. I needed help and oh boy what a gem! I love the digital tools provided and the color cubes are stellar, they look great on my desk and so many people have asked about them. Thank you for giving me the creative spark that I needed infusing excitement back to where it had diminished.

I’ve been seeing these on various coloring channels I follow over the past couple of years, and then I saw the cubes. I really debated over which I wanted to invest in. I finally chose the digital catalog and companion bundle. So happy I did. I love choosing palettes digitally, so easy to do! Now I don’t stare at pictures and worry about whether or not my color choices will go together. Sarah has done all the work!
Verified Buyer (verified owner) –
This colour companion and colour catalogue is definitely brilliant for people who like to colour, and looking for inspiration on a colour pallet for example a sunset or autumn colours . There is also the companion that varies across different pencil brands, so you can match the colours to the pallet you choose . I also like how you can save it to the I book reader on my iPhone or iPad and you can easily print them out .
Jennifer S. (verified owner) –
Love the color catalog! I especially love the companion w/so many colored pencil brands that correspond to the colors in the catalog. Looking forward to the addition of more; would love to have Carandache Pablos, Tombow Irojitens, & Holbein Colored pencils! It’s great to have so many colors in one digital file rather than having to search through all of my pencil sets & a great color wheel reference. Saves a lot of time & energy. I’ll likely order the physical color cards in the future. Thanks for all of your work!

Wow,this is a game changer! I am a new hobby Colorist and have that feeling of ‘where do I even begin picking colours?’ When I look at the beautiful blank pages in my adult colouring books. Then I saw Sarah Renae Clark do a demo on her Colour Catalogue and even better,the colour catalogue companion!!.I bought myself the 120 set of Castle art Gold pencils and all the guesswork choosing colours has been taken away! You can also choose a shade lighter and a shade darker alongside your main colour for your gradients. And all the cataloguese are neatly stored digitally on my iPad in iBooks. Well done Sarah and your team,can’t wait for colour catalogues 3,4 & 5
