Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool: -- 24 Color Cards with Numbered Swatches -- 5 Color Plans for each Color -- 2 Value Finders Red & Green

work well.

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.

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

As a quilter, I think this tool will be particularly useful. My one concern is that the quality of the cardstock seems only slightly better than color-printed pages in a book. Because of the fan-card nature of the product, I can see it getting bent up and torn pretty easily with any moderate amount of use.

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.

Really helped the kids learn about color combinations

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.

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!
