Product came quickly and was packaged nicely. upon opening the colors were vibrant and true colors. The product had excellent explanations of how to use the product effectively. Would recommend for any who needs to color plan for painting, sewing, fiber arts and more.

Usefull to mix colors (Graphic Design)
I used it to decide on colors for some packaging and needed just a bit of safety to compare it with my screen colors. Some colors you might have to imagine the result of a mix of two that you have on the fan (You wont be able to get all 3 colors mixed, it is always 2 plus Black, some extra pages with 25/50/75% mix of a third would be awesome for the next version!) , but for the price, that's fine and I found it plenty helpful. Its also very easy to hold two colors together unlike in the books that are more complex and the colors are somewhere in the middle of the page. You end up trying to get colors next to each other by bending pages, which of course isn't ideal.

Plastic screw post was broken.
Might have been due to being packed in a plastic shipping bag. Product itself is extremely useful. Luckily I was needing it at home, and was not needing to use it off-site. I have purchased a metal screw post to fix it, as I really like the product! I look forward to using it for years to come.

Terrific Start, Please Add Nine More Cards plus Grays
This is a very useful tool which I'd love to see just slightly expanded to be even more valuable. I was looking for a way to jump-start the process of explaining saturation/clarity/intensity of color to people and helping them find their best saturation level for wardrobe purposes. This tool gets me most of the way there as it does show about seven saturation levels for each of 24 pure hues. However, as you look around the hue circle through the 24 hues supplied, there are noticeable jumps or discontinuities. I'd love to see nine cards added: 3.5, 7.5, 10.5; 12.5, 14.5, 18.5; 22.5, 23.5, 24.5/0.5. This would give a more continuous set of hues. While saturation is key, hue is second to it and it would be great to have a more even set of jumps from hue to hue in this collection. What got me thinking about this in the first place is that I couldn't find a true red, a true blue, or a true yellow in the deck--each blue is either a little on the purple side or a little on the teal side, each red is either a bit to the orange side or a bit to the purple side, and each yellow is a bit to the red side or a bit to the green side, compared to what I'd consider a true red, blue or yellow with no overtones or tilt. Where this really causes difficulty for some people is this. If you have some yellow or a related tone in your skin, you will be just right with these "off of true" shades of blue and red, but if you don't, you need those "on true" shades as part of your lineup. It's a shame to have to ask people to extrapolate those colors. I'm indebted to a thirty-year-old or so copy of a book called Color Wonderful for the saturation emphasis--it was invaluable to me and I still think completely on target. But it's important (and they know this too) to know your best hues as well as your best saturation level. If this little tool were expanded just a bit it would be a huge help in explaining these concepts and giving the best wardrobe help to others informally. It would also help to have several gray cards included for wardrobe purposes.

NEW "Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool" is terrific!!
I was so excited to get the new 3-in-1 Color Tool Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool: -- 24 Color Cards with Numbered Swatches -- 5 Color Plans for each Color -- 2 Value Finders Red & Green to see what changes Joen Wolfrom had made from the original. I was extremely pleased to see that she'd put on the front of each color card the very things I had to keep turning the old one over to see - the color plans that make the tool so unique. So now I can quickly turn to a color that I want in my quilt (or even what I'm planning to wear that day!) and see which colors are going to make my choice of color work together for a successful project. And she's also expanded the tints, tones and shades for each color on the back. Although I don't personally have a need for the color formulas on the back, I know that others who use color in their work will find them extremely valuable. It's not easy to take something that is good like the original 3-in-1 Color Tool, and make it better, but Joen has certainly done that!! And the frosting on the cake is the new Studio Color Wheel that goes with it. Studio Color Wheel: 28 x 28 Double-Sided Poster

A great tool for color analyzing
I like this tool better than a color chart. It fits in my purse and each page plastic coated. I like that it gives different hues, tones, tints, and shades. It's great for quilters. It also gives different color combinations that go together i.e., complimentary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, etc. looking at paint swatches or fabric, I can tell if it is an aqua or a blue.

Are you color challenged?
I am color challenged! This was recommended on a YouTube channel I started to follow (Just Get it Done Quilts) for how to make quilts. Needed to channel my energy and found sewing relaxing...but picking matching fabrics/patterns does not come easy for me. This helps! You can more easily tell if a fabric is Blue or Blue Violet...which when it comes to matching complementary fabrics...it matters!

Must-have tool for working with color
If you are going to work with improving color on your quilts, I consider this the #1 must- have tool. Joen has color intensity and tone depicted on this little tool so you can match those on your quilt. It will also help you with gradient color if you want to do a quilt that starts one color on one side and gradually changes into another on the other side. Also great for color wheel - star - quilts. This is going on my peg board and in my purse every time I go to the fabric store.

Genau, was ich suchte
Systematische Übersichten von Farben, Farben, Farben .... auf übersichtlichen Karten zusammengefasst. Die Möglichkeit das Kartenmaterial auseinanderzunehmen (es ist an einer Ecke mit einer Plastikschraube zusammengehalten) ist sehr sinnvoll für meine Zwecke. Das einzige Manko könnte sein, dass die einzelnen Farbfelder recht klein sind - dafür ist das Ganze aber auch sehr praktisch und passt in jedes Täschchen.

Muy practico
El libro presenta la teoría del color de una manera muy sencilla. Para cada color, muestra colores complementarios, triádicos, etc. Tiene 2 páginas de buscadores de valor, una verde y otra roja. Muestra el valor RGB, HEX y CMYK de cada color y tiene explicaciones sobre cómo usar el libro. Use el libro para encontrar los colores adecuados, para los libros de colorear para adultos. Me gusta mucho.

Indispensible
I do a lot of photo manipulation and editing and this tool is now invaluable to me. I print on fabric and sometimes want to match up colours with existing items I have. Now I can pick a colour or set of colours and use them directly in my software. What did I do without this before??
