Color Charts XL: Color Collection Edition

I bought this swatch book because my smaller copy is getting full with pens and pencils and I wanted a larger space for swatching paints and inks.As well as having a larger area for the swatch, there is also more space for writing the colour name and number.To capture my ink colours, I used one of my stamps that fit within the area of the box. This looks so much nicer than just brushing the pad across the space.One addition I have added is to number each of the pages and then create an index in the front cover. I initially started (in my first small book) to write the names on post-it flags, but as the book filled up these flags got out of hand all the way down the side of the book. This index is every bit as quick and much tidier. If they produce a new edition, it might be nice to have the Index and page numbering provided, but this isn't enough to downgrade my rating.If you are a fan of alcohol markers, it is worth knowing that the pages are single sided so you won't lose any, just put a piece of card behind in case of bleeding.

I am delighted with this Colour Chart book. I have the smaller edition but much prefer this larger size. I have a few sets of good pencils, Polychromos and Posca pencils being my favourite ones. I have also just purchased the new Monarch pencils from Black Widow.I found I was using the same few colours all the time. Charting them in this book has allowed me to try out every single pencil and see the fantastic variety of colours.I have noticed a couple of reviews commenting on the paper quality in this book, in my opinion the paper is fine, I prefer thicker paper in Colouring books but for colour charting it’s absoluely fine. So far I have only used pencils so am unable to say if pens come through the other side.

Just big enough for recording my pencil collection.Wish the paper was better and pages serrated.Anyway, not bad for organizing your pencils by brands.

Excellent A4 colour chart book. I have had a couple of the smaller books and hesitated about buying this bigger one - I am so glad I did, each page has a 1inch square to lay down your colour and they show up very well, plus plenty of room to write a description. I have added a photo of the original size compared to this book, The paper is good quality and takes marker pens verywell [with card behind to stop the bleed] It does mean there are only 24 spaces instead of 45 but it is worth it [for me] to have fewer but larger colour indicators.

Absolutely love this colour chart! With all my art supplies, I really want to have something I can keep references from to decide my colours and this did just the job. The paper is thick so nothing will bleed through and the quality is like no other. Can't recommend enough.

So satisying to have swatches all in one book and organised

I have had this a while now, great book for recording your coloured pencil shades. Lots of pages and the paper is good quality.Definitely worth buying if you have a lot of different brand of pencils

basic but very useful in recording colour mixes

I bought this to record color combinations for my colored pencil work. It's an ample sized book with more pages than I'll ever use, which is a good thing! I record color schemes in part of the book, blending charts in another part. Each page has many charts, so the color combinations can be arranged by color family, items to be colored (leaves/flowers/parrots). The uses are limited only by the imagination and need of the artist. The pages take colored pencil very well. They also take gel crayon, gel pens, water color pencils, and ink. I haven't tried alcohol markers or water based markers because I don't use those very often. The paper is not heavy, so I doubt it would work without gesso or another waterproofing medium. I am very pleased with it.

BUEN TAMAÑO Y BUEN GRFOSOR PAR HACER LOS “SWATCHES”

Und das ohne viel Aufwand! Man kann alle wichtigen Infos zu den Farben in dem A4 grossen Buch zusammentragen. Das Papier ist glatt und recht dünn, deshalb sollte man bei Markern (Wasserbasierende Tinte oder Alkohol) unbedingt ein Blatt unterlegen, denn die Farben schlagen durch! Bei Bleistiftfarben gibt es dieses Problem nicht. Allerdings habe ich persönlich auch da ein Stück Papier unter die Buchseite gelegt, weil wenn man layern möchte und 2-3x in ein Kästchen malt, dann sieht man das doch recht deutlich auf der Rückseite.Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass man die Seiten heraustrennen kann (das kann man natürlich auch einfach so aber riskiert eventuell, dass das Papier reisst). Dann könnte man beispielsweise die einzelnen Seiten laminieren und 4-5 Blätter besser nebeneinander halten, um Farbtöne zu vergleichen.

I’m glad I bought this swatch book. Previously I paid 2711/- on flipkart for the ruby charms big book of colour charts and after a month of eagerly waiting for it, flipkart went and cancelled the order😡. And I came back to my favourite amazon and searched and bought this book. I am surprised at the size of it..it’s a pretty large size. And the swatch boxes are generously sized. I’m thoroughly enjoying laying down all my colours from various pencil brands. Go ahead and buy....even though the paper is thin, it’s very smooth and I love that there is so much space for writing the text. Thanks amazon! Buy this swatch book without a second thought...easy on the pocket too!!

Best Colouring Chart on amazon. Plenty of room to make samples of all your colour pencils sets. Also room to record colour combinations, such as skin, hair or metal. The paper is reasonably good and the large boxes to fill in the colours makes excellent example of the colour pencil. With several lines to record important information.
