I slipped upon this site while looking for something else but I love it. I am very color coordinating challenged. Normally my husband does all the color coordinating for me. He is just naturally good at it.

I was playing around on there and some of the color matches I thought "I would have never thought of that", then though about things I have seen in nature that are those colors put together.

Thank you. I was just telling my daughter she needs a color wheel. This is perfect for her.

I've visited the site you mention to get colour mixing inspiration, however I found it didn't offer easy selection of shades, tones, pastels, warms & cools.

Also, comparing swatches of fabric to the colours on the monitor are often not easy.

I have one of those small colour wheels you can get at LQS but they are somewhat limited so I went on a major internet hunt for a source for a more substantial colour wheel - one that would provide me with a complete colourway selection - and I FOUND IT.

I've purchased the whole system and it is TRULY FANTASTIC and well worth the cost !!!

Beverly Ash Gilbert was very helpful in answering my pricing questions and as a result, added discount link to her website for those wishing to purchase her entire system.

For those interested in checking out the "Eye for Color" Colour Wheel System, here is the website link:

Fantastic Website! I thought it had everything you could want. Hues, saturation and contrast. Of course I know my printer won't print the exact color, but it will help in knowing which colors to look at in the quilt shop.

Thanks again!

This is very, very cool. I'm awful at picking colors, and I can see this being a big help to me.

I saw this demonstrated somewhere (TV maybe?) and thought it looked like a great system. Never could find it though. Thanks for this link.
