SO FUN! Making Color Palettes with Palette Scout! First Impressions & a Card

[@giselled.4149]

I love the way it encourages you to choose colours you wouldn’t normally gravitate to. You can of course play it safe but I like the unexpected colours they suggest!

[@angelasprouse4992]

This color combo is so lovely! It’s giving off the vibe of vintage fabric to me.

[@angeliquevanvliet4637]

This really is a beautiful color combination! It was fun seeing this, thank you. ❤

[@suetownsend1932]

I had fun along with you, Kristina! Palette Scout definitely has a good purpose, and you explained it well as you played with the cards. Thanks so much.

[@seekr8pal101]

omgosh, I really enjoyed your demo of the Palette Scout! Color theory is a challenge for me and this would really help me learn. I agree it would be a great gift idea. I have two crafty friends I think I'll get it for Christmas gifts and I'm going to put it on MY Christmas list, too! Thank you for taking the time to show this and thank you to Palette Scout for sending it! I do like the cubes (don't have them) but I do think I would learn more with the Scout version. As always, I appreciate you, your time, your education. MWAH!

[@noralizmedinacolon4367]

This was so much fun! My artist/engineer brain loved this!! I have the cube, but I think I want to get these too!!

[@CupAndInk]

Cool product. Thanks for sharing how it works. Lovely card as a result of it all.

[@daphnebenjamins]

Awesome video on the Palette Scout. Just got mine and your video came up. Thanks for taking use threw it.

[@michellestephens381]

This was a great tutorial! Thank you so much for walking us through it as you learned as well, it was so fun to learn terminology and to look at color differently in the pairings. I feel like I got a whole lot smarter about color. My husband and I own a paint store and I think I learned so much tonight that it's going to help me with helping customers with color. As always thank you for sharing so much of your time.

[@kwernerdesign]

Thanks, Michelle! Yes, I learned a lot, too! I learned all of the terms, etc years ago but don’t use them regularly so it was a great refresher for me! If anything, I love that they pointed out how to get tones (add gray), shades (add black), and tints (add white, or water if you’re watercoloring). Those alone helped me with the color mixing! 😊

[@myruffleddreams1906]

I got mine a couple of days ago. So fun. I haven’t had a chance to make a card yet with my first couple of palettes. This is going to be great for polymer clay jewelry too

[@deborahreeder7374]

I LOVE the flower stamps you designed! The way you painted them gave them beautiful depth and dimension. 😻

[@AbiNomac]

I LOVE how this makes you create your pallette

[@covilm]

This is a gorgeous colour palette and your final card showcases it so well ❤

[@bonnieking2308]

Thanks for the review - looks like a cool product! And I love the palette you came up with. Gorgeous!

[@avrawilliams8675]

Thanks, Kristina! This was really fun to watch you start from the beginning as we would, and learn to use this product. I haven't jumped on board the Color Cube yet so now I have something else to consider 😊

[@patriciapuchelt4663]

Love that color combo!

[@TheStayC]

Thank you for sharing this! I ordered one. I have a small color wheel on my desk at all times and grab for it often, but a lot of the time it's really hard to figure out what I'm looking for. The color swatches on the color wheel are very small and there's so much going on around them. I love the idea of being able to isolate the colors I'm looking at to better match them and the cards are a nice size to represent the colors. I'm also excited that I can take them to ink pads, cardstock or my color swatches to find what I'm looking for. I can't wait to get mine. And your card was awesome as always!

[@bonnerdebbie]

awesome card!!

[@sharondipity152]

Thanks for such a thorough look at how this set works!

[@zolliemakes]

Thanks so much for sharing Palette Scout, Kristina! It was fun to watch you explore the deck and make this beautiful card.

[@whichwitchhazel]

Lovely card and great colour palette xx

[@berolinastrassmann]

4:15 I am overwhelmed by the many variables to consider. I am definitely not the target audience for this product. I can get understand how it can be useful for graphic artists, crocheters, knitters or textile designers. Your cards were, as always, beautiful and fabulous. Your choice of colours was also lovely.

[@StuartsMom22]

I just bought the Palette Scout! Its the kind of tool i was looking for! Thank you for this video. 😊

[@mellie1004]

What fun watching you pick color choices/combos. I’m glad you didn’t throw up in your mouth looking at that green so long 😅 Seriously, absolutely beautiful stamp set you designed in 2023!! I wonder if they’re still available - love them! Lastly, very cool product reviewed and your watercolor is amazing 🖌️🎨🖼️!!!

[@bdoll1012]

This is pretty, I love how the colors came together.

[@Teresa-Q]

Looks complicated but you explained it well. Great paper and such a beautiful card 🩷🌸🩷

Hello! In this world of social, political, or religious upheaval, I want you to know you are so appreciated. I know you have a business, but it is so much more. You ‘create’ a mindset of encouragement, hope and joy and the means to pass it on. I often watch your channel for respite, and then begin to ‘create’ and also pass it on. Please share thanks to all these wonderful companies. Grateful!

[@kwernerdesign]

What a kind and sweet comment! Thank you so much, Darla!

[@asrakuku]

It's a LOSE YOURSELF MIDST THE COLORS kinda board game.... For someone into colors it's a handy guide to pick your colors onto your project ... than trying out the mix & match yourself, you have these cards to do that part of your job for you giving you a go directly onto your projects.... Have Fun 🤩

[@inks4fun]

Beautiful card, love those colors. The pallet scout would be perfect to travel with.

[@CraftyToad70]

Very interesting explanation of color relationships! Challenging and educational.

[@ruths_youth]

I'm glad someone else feels the same way I do about basic bright-ass green. It just feels harsh and even juvenile. "It's making me kinda wanna barf" is so relatable to me for the kid's toy colors.

[@KathleenMc73]

I've only really used it for St. Patrick's Day cards. Not a colour I go to.

[@coast2coastcards]

This is super cool! I'll have to ask for it for Christmas! I adore your card and the palette you created!!

[@victoriaparis2791]

I love the way this works. I will make color combos easier.

[@KathleenMc73]

My understanding is that you choose different numbers. So 1 thru 5 from the different colour families. Off to see how expensive it is to get it in the UK.

[@melissazabower339]

Is it a game? Is it a tool? Whatever we call. It, it looks so fun! That is a great color combo. I love the more muted colors, too.

[@elaineb1336]

Love this card and this color palette!

[@pammcclung861]

Thanks for sharing this! I’ve not seen it before. And the price seems really reasonable for all that you get. I was pleasantly surprised it wasn’t more expensive than that. I may just try it out or get one for a friend, maybe as a Chistmas gift. It seems to be really well thought through. Reminds me of color projects I had to do in art college.

[@crmuirhead]

Interesting. I should really try this as I am in a color rut! Birthday right around the corner.... I wish you had tried your most intimidating palette! The one you picked was lovely, though, and I really liked the finished card. TFS!

[@tamthaluehrs]

How fun would this be for an art teacher to use for students to learn color theory! Love love love this!

[@kristen2439]

How neat

[@WendyCranford]

This looks really fun. I think I need it 😂

[@myruffleddreams1906]

I really like this. It’s a challenge for me to put together color pallets of unusual colors. I tend to be more monochrome.

[@annapolito3986]

This seems like a very complicated way to select a colour palette. I think I'll stick with my colour cubes. Love the card.

[@lindaball403]

Very pretty! I would have to read it to understand!

[@shireetropix6360]

Of course, owning the Colour Cubes, you would need to cross reference your final choice of Scout palette with the Cube. Does your chosen Scout palette exist as a set in the Cube already? If not, what needs to be substituted to match and then, which do you personally prefer - the Cube or the Scout? I see the value of this but which of them is a) more thorough and b) more useful? The challenge in both of them is to step outside and extend your colour choices. Also, does the Scout give the pantones as well? Do you know if there are plans to extend it? Is that a possibility or is it only going to be able to deal with this finite set of colours in it's current form? I'd love to see these questions answered from a professional viewpoint in a follow up video if you can.

[@kwernerdesign]

I haven't thought about it that hard. I am treating them like two separate systems. Depending on my mood or if I feel like challenging myself will determine which I use.

[@LauraRumble]

This looks so fun but postage is more than the deck so it'll have to give it a miss.

[@jaydee5022]

This looks so cool but I can't help wishing they had chosen more accurate names for the colours - pine is a blue green not that granny apple colour, garnets are slightly purple a d 'ibis' - they're white and black! I know there's a scarlet ibis but it's called scarlet and it's not that purple. It seems a pity not to use more accurate names when the whole process is about familiarising yourself with colour theory.

[@kwernerdesign]

I realized after the fact that the colors are named in alphabetical order going around the color wheel. That explains the color naming a bit better. I believe they did this so you could return the cards to color order by just alphabetizing the cards.

[@jaydee5022]

@@kwernerdesign oh clever to spot that. It's not helpful to me because I am too literal but I can see the logic. Thanks for explaining? And thanks again for exploring the pack so thoroughly. You always inspire!

[@audregaer3281]

I think it is strange that they use all the correct color terms but give the colors goofy names. What is wrong with red, red orange, red violet, etc that tell you where the color fits on the color wheel and what colors make the secondary and tertiary colors. I’m certainly no expert and sometimes I need some color inspiration but I think this ‘game’ would make me crazy. TFS

[@candiwelsh5524]

Way over my head🤪

[@JCcreates927]

I'm surprised any one buys these things like color cube and this Pallette scout. I can make my own color palettes on Procreate from pictures that I like the colors of. I used to on PS but because Adobe is not nice I don't use that any more. I am a graphic designer, artist, crocheter, knitter, etc. If you just get a color wheel these are not needed.

[@amymoore5543]

Can you mix the grayer with the brighter

[@kwernerdesign]

Yes. You can mix the toned colors and bright colors (the fronts and backs of the cards). I haven't tried that yet, but they do mention mixing those in the starter guide.

[@elaineb1336]

What would be the distress inks that match this color palette?

[@kwernerdesign]

No clue. I think you’d have to go through and figure that out. Close colors are likely in the deck since there are 180 colors.

[@mpbailey18]

I know it was your first look at this product, but it really seems overly complicated. So once you have a palette, then you have to figure out what you personally own that comes close to these colors... gads. This may seem like fun for some, but not for me! Appreciate the amazing amount of work this company did to create such an involved product. Would be curious who they are marketing this to? Almost $40 with tax and shipping...sigh. A good color wheel is easier!

[@kwernerdesign]

It did seem complicated at first, but now that I've played with it, it seems pretty easy. :) What's appealing to me is that it's easier to quickly pull cards and create different palettes (whether you start with a challenge card or a suggested standard combo). If you have swatch cards of inks and cardstocks in your crafting stash, you could essentially do the same thing (with the addition of using a color wheel as well, like you mention). Personally, I don't have individual swatch cards of every ink, cardstock, or paint in my craft room, so I wouldn't be able to combine color combos in a similar manner. For me, it's easier to use a generic pack of color cards (there are 180 colors in Palette Scout), create the color combos, and then match them as closely as possible to colors in my inks, cardstock, and paints. Overall, I suspect their target audience is those who want to learn about color theory and put it to practical use in a convenient way. To each their own. Doesn't sound like you're the target audience for Palette Scout.

[@shawpaperiekas600]

Do people really need to go through all this to pick a color palette? Not being rude; I’m genuinely curious.

[@kwernerdesign]

Sometimes color palettes come easy to you-you just see a group of colors that resonate with you. Other times, you need to take the time to discover them. It’s a process. :)

[@korkiemoore-bruno3645]

Way too complicate. I usually understand and enjoy all your videos. I think it is fine for professional use. I am going to have to locate something for the lay person. I was so excited to see a video on combining colors. Way too many cards. Just watching her, a professional, go through the steps convinced to search for something less challenging.

[@kwernerdesign]

Well, to be fair, this was my very first time playing with the cards. I think if I filmed this video now it would appear easier and simpler to use because I now already know what I’m doing. Does that make sense? I’ll be completely honest, at the start I was overwhelmed. I’m sure that’s what you’re picking up on. But now that I’ve played with it a bit, I love it! I should film a follow up using the cards (I’m sure I will), because it would look much easier now that I understand the system.

[@momhascooties]

Too much work

[@kwernerdesign]

Oh, I’m not afraid of a little work. It’s worth it in the end. 😊

[@pink25poppies1]

I think it's nice in theory to practice the color wheel, however I honestly dislike all the colors used in this product; they're just very off putting to me and limiting.

[@kwernerdesign]

Do you have Palette Scout? Just wondering if you’ve played with it before.
