Palette Scout Color Picker Review

[@kiwess1]

I appreciate the video, Jennifer. As always, you're on point. For me, perhaps I'd like this system if I hadn't used your system or Sarah Renee Clark's Color Cubes. I feel like there's too much I need to do with this Zollie Palette Scout. When I'm creating, I want to pick my colors and keep it moving. This system makes me feel like I did when I was in math class with those questions like, "if Sally had four newspapers, and gave one away on her route and picked up five more customers, but lost three customers two and a half days ago, how many newspapers are left?" 🤣🤣🤣 I'm exaggerating, of course, but this is how the Palette Scout is making me feel. You don't even sound too sure as I'm watching the video. Ummm. . .right now, this system is a no for me, but I'll revisit if they make it easier to select. And for those crafters working in smaller areas, all that spreading out the deck and reading and matching cards. No! Who has time for all of that? 😉

Thank you for the great revue! I can see advantages to each of the color picker systems. But as a retired art teacher I really like the thorough coverage of color theory in your Quick Color Picker. All of the information and tools that are included make it easy to choose pleasing color schemes. The Color Cube system is super for the quantity of color schemes and the great photos to go with them. The Palette Scout looks fun to play with. As a quilter I could see carrying the cards with me to pick out fabric. I guess it sounds like I "need" all three!😄

[@beckyneemann7273]

Omg I feel like a fool! 😂 I have downloaded the tri-tone worksheets for my colored pencil sets but didn’t realize that I could download a generic pdf version of one already filled out. This thing is fantastic!! I’ve never completed the tri-tone sheets because I get tired of coloring the boxes…I just want to color a page. So I REALLY appreciate this tool that I can use to match to my different mediums. You two are truly the queen and king of providing USEFUL tools when it comes to color choosing. I can’t thank you enough! ❤❤

[@melissasilvestre2442]

This was a great explanation of how the cards are set up!!

[@lisafreeman2867]

I do love your book much more than the cards. Just turn to a page and ‘bam’ the work is done!

[@robinagasson2724]

I have a colour wheel that has 18 colours and a smaller one that has 12 colours. I use both of them. I also have your Quick color picker that I got digitally when I first joined your group. It is not as advanced as your new one with all the extra combinations. I live in South Africa so getting your actual printed book would be too expensive. Love watching your videos, always learn something new.

[@leonnehaaijman4709]

Yeah, I have the same issue: cost. I live in Europe and getting anything from the US, especially anything with a bit of weight, is way too expensive. Not just shipping, but then there's the import duties too 😭 How do you like the digital version? Did you print it out or do you use it on your computer/laptop/tablet?

[@robinagasson2724]

I printed the digital one out and have it in a flip file. Very helpful in chosing colours​@@leonnehaaijman4709

Thank you for sharing. There are so many new and/or great old products that most of us don't get exposed to without KZbinr's such as yourself. Thank you for caring and sharing.

[@flafalaise]

Hi Jennifer & Steve! Let me just say..thank you so much for figuring this system out for us and explaining it in a way that makes sense. I think the Palette Scout can be useful. I see it as a great tool to take with you if you are traveling and can help pick out color combos because it is compact. With that being said, I think it seems a little complicated for me. Thank you again for taking the time to showcase this product. I really appreciate you both, and Little Rose of course.

[@cindyfromsydney7693]

As someone who paints and crochets etc I think I would find this very useful! Much more useful than the colour cubes which I own.

[@veystone2580]

Love your nails! ❤

[@sweethaven5]

I do like this. Although I am partial to Sarah Renae Clark’s Cube cards. They help me to visualize my coloring page.

[@creativebeanart]

I too am a fan of Sarah's cube cards❤

[@anitawaclawik4286]

Interesting. It looks a bit complicated but your review was helpful. Thanks for your explanation of the product. It might be fun to use for novelty with adult colouring.

[@karenfejta]

These cards look fun to play with

[@northsound1000]

Thanks for taking the time to figure this out and present it in an understandable way. Personally I think it’s WAY too complex. I just finished up all the color scheme worksheets that you provide and I feel like that’s a far more useful color-picking tool for me.

[@angelashortall9778]

Yeah, you can totally put a lot of thought into it but when I’m coloring, I don’t wanna have to think as hard as what this video made me do. And I wasn’t even thinking she was explaining it to me and I still got confused.😂

[@CynthiaBerry713]

Super informative, ty Jennifer!

[@birdgirl2623]

Looks like something I would sit and sort as a pass time (like how I move my colored pencils from one storage case to another for some weird reason). But I don't think would be very practical for me to actual use select color palettes. I prefer to just have preselected color palettes to select from. If I need to select colors myself according to the color wheel, I don't see why I just don't use a color wheel in the first place. I really like your Quick Color Picker that has so many different color palettes already picked out for me, so all I need to do is find the matching colors in whatever set of pencils or other media I'm using. I also like those color palettes that have colors matched with their inspirational photos. Having photos can inspire me to select colors that would be particularly fitting for the theme of the picture I'm working on. I saw the reviews of Sarah Renee Clark's Color Cube which I think would really work well for me, but unfortunately, my FSS applies to art tools and then it gets way out of budget for me right now.

[@MelicaGrimes-lt2yu]

I appreciate your services. Thank you.

[@donnalyon2145]

Great review as always.

[@debraholloway1847]

Please everyone, like and subscribe and share!!❤

[@lauren_read_color]

Thanks for the review. It is an interesting system and beautifully organized. However, I'm not sure it would help colorists choose palettes as much as Sarah Renee's catalog or even palettes on Pinterest where you can see the combinations working together in an image.

[@cathrinsamuelsson1691]

I would so LOVE this. Have been looking for something like this as I dont really like the already fixed color schemes like in the color cube and also dont like to have so many schemes presented to me at once like on pages in books. This seems so simple and easy to me. If I dont want to use their suggestions on the schemes, I could easily use the cards and their pic of their color wheel and do my own f ex anolougus scheme. Unfortunatly I cant find it in EU. Anyone now any where they sells this in EU?

[@cheryldodge5126]

Jennifer I just don't know. Just like the color cubes which look pretty. For me this is overwhelming . I was introduced to a book (Practical Color Combinations, A Resource Book by Naomi Kuno.) Imogen, Colouring Kid introduced this & it's my go to. Take a look if you wish. Interested in your take on this book. Thank you

[@jenjetson4661]

I personally found that system way too confusing when you were going through it I was just like nope not for me lol😂

[@glendasonnenberg1177]

I haven't ordered this way before. I'm trying to figure out how to order your color scheme book...I can watch your videos and I enjoy them very much but how do I reach you?

[@jG-iw2gb]

You can begin by going to the Coloring Bliss website. 😊

[@CrystalsColorStyle]

I feel like this is something I would love to get just to take out, look at, touch, and organize. 😅

[@ExerciserInFutility]

I'd rather recommend 'Essential Color Card Deck' alongside with 'Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool' both by Joen Wolfrom. Those have been originally created for any professionals working with colors, so much more accurate and precise to begin with. Also much cheaper and much more easier to use and understand. And no, this is NOT paid advertisement. This opinion is based solely on my experience with these products.

[@Blueskybuffalo]

I had to google quetzal because I know I’ve heard it in different contexts and there are several meanings. But in this case quetzal is an iridescent green bird with red underparts found in tropical America.

[@cherylgeiger7447]

The analogous color scheme suggestion in this set IS incorrect and something the manufacturer should correct. YOUR analysis is correct. I'm an experienced color theory user so I can make the leap, but for most colorists and crafters this mistake is misleading and confusing. I left a message for the manufacturer. You might want to do the same. BTW - your color picker is far easier to use and considerably more comprehensive. Sarah Renay Clark's color cubes are a wonderful compliment to your book,

[@annamarielewis7078]

Hello, hello, hello in real time. I’ve been watching your four year old videos. I’m loving you. I ordered the Sarah package, but I’m not sure my order went through. A shipping issue I think.

[@lynnharris1964]

Palette Scout is ok but I really love the coloring cube better and I do have box 1 and box 2 if you can please check out coloring cube by Sarah Renae

[@EliseD.A.]

We had a power shortage! Did not see it all😢

[@leonnehaaijman4709]

I really like this set, and the Color Cube looks fab too, but it's just way too expensive to get it shipped to Europe. We need a European company to do something similar 🙂

[@cathrinsamuelsson1691]

You can get "the Essential color card deck".. At least in Sweden, for about 30 Euros. Its a similar concept. But I really liked this one in the video, for me this one was easier to use as you easily can see which card to pic by the square, circle, triangle. But main thing why I liked this one the most are because you can flip the cards around and get all the tones. On the other one you only get two tones. Hope they will come to EU eventually.

[@RachelMartel]

Hello!!

[@TheTerrylwg]

Excellent review! You sold it really well. It looks like a really good system. It's not color palettes like Sara Renee Clark's, but a brand new take on the Color Wheel. I like it.

[@ChelleBeeby]

💜💜💜TFS💜💜💜

[@zoescozycoloring]

Interesting product, but to me it seems like its a dupe of the colour card deck already on the market that I’ve been using for some time 🤔

[@Justwingingitcoloring]

With SRC, there are so many options. However The Quick Color Picker (QCP), has it broken down by pencil brand. The Pallet Scout, too much time will be taken to pick your colors. Additionally, it does take up extra space. It could be because I don't t have the hang of it. I can see possibly using The Pallet Scout when picking out card stock, while your shopping. However, the SRC can be pulled up on your phone. Same with the QCP. You can also take the SRC cards with you, as well as swatches from the QCP.. Personally, the price plus shipping on the Pallet Scout, is to high. To be honest, for using in coloring books, I would not purchase it nor use it. Many people use Pinterest or other sites. I am NOT a fan of it because I like it in my hands. I tried using Pinterest but too much ink is used and some printers don't print the colors correctly. Does it work? I would say no! Thanks for the review!

[@annamarielewis7078]

This is way too complicated for me, but the shades are so luscious and gorgeous. I just use my pencils.

[@MelicaGrimes-lt2yu]

I like Sarah Renee Clark better. I don’t have the time to sit and play cards.

[@PursuingHeaven]

Good idea but I would of rather had them just call them the correct names of color so people can actually learn color theory. People should learn the name of a color such as violet and that it lean warm (red-violet) or cool (blue violet). Companies love to create their own color names but they are not unique, they are all just tonal hues with black, white, warm and cool gray or shades of brown or other colors mixed in. The quicker you can learn to ignore the silly name and focus on the true color and how color theory works the more liberated you will be in coloring. You will stop stressing over a specific pencil in a tutorial and just grab one that is close in the brand you have and just color.

[@angelashortall9778]

This would require way too much thinking for me.😂 like they’ve clearly put a lot of thought into it, but I’ll just stick with your colour picker and the guides from Sarah Renée Clark

[@denicecoleman9135]

I’ll stick with the color wheel and gray scale,so that is a pass for me!

[@Heather-ow8bl]

My name is Heather Stroud

[@lisamorin7018]

I like your book better

[@susettebradley5028]

Too bad they don’t make markers or gel pens to match the color cards

[@NickUncommon]

You might be able to make your own cards with your pens, or watercolour, felt tip pens and such. It works with the material you have available. My Autistic brain wants to sort things anyway, so my pens all have a colour sample on a sticker I painted with the actual pen. This way, I use the pens themselves as colour sample to place side by side and no need for big cards. Maybe you find a system, that works for you.

[@hurricanekitty6736]

So is this company advertising for no reason bc it’s been sold out for weeks now. I asked them if they plan on receiving more but they didn’t respond & it’s been at least 2 weeks. What company sends out a product for review just to not have any in stock for weeks & not reply to potential customers interested in their product? I’m so annoyed by this if you can’t tell lol
