The Kangaroo Dyer's Color Grid

Color theories and color wheels serve as excellent guides, but they do not work for everyone. The Colorgrid is based on sound theory, but you don't have to learn that theory; you just have to explore the tool. The simple instructions are inside. Feel free to play with the Colorgrid to discover color combinations that are guaranteed to work, and at the same time, to build your own color confidence. Use the color combinations you discover in your projects, you home, your garden - wherever color counts!

      The Color Grid is a wonderful tool for choosing (and understanding) color. Have you ever stood in front of a display of lusciously-colored yarn (or paint, or fabric) paralyzed by indecision? If so, you will love the Color Grid. Gail Callahan has used her experience as a professional dyer and her experience teaching color to create an easy-to-use, pocket-sized solution to "color paralysis". I have used it to make my color choices more efficient, but I have also used it without a specific project in mind to mess around with hypothetical color combinations. It can really open your eyes to palettes outside your color comfort zone!

      Perhaps I am just not understanding how to use this. That is so very possible. However, I have not found this product helpful. It's a bit confusing to orient the front piece, and when I get it oriented I do not often even like the suggested color combinations. If I am using it incorrectly, I apologize to the developer sincerely.

        This is a great tool to learn about colors. I can see many uses: yarn, flowers, paint. Color card is printed on glossy card stock and is triple folded in a clear slip case for convenient carrying.

        I have already used this grid to select yarns for a recent knitting pattern. My husband is an artist and thinks it's great also as a quick guide. I highly recommend this product.

        Comments about The Kangaroo Dyer's Color Grid:

        I've been using the color grid to select yarn for knitting, but, like the description says, it'd also be useful for selecting complementary color combinations in projects, the home, the garden. I've even used it to pick color for an outfit I want to wear.

          After I got my Color Grid I ordered more for the members of my fiber guild. It is very useful for helping select a bright pop of color when you know your main project color(s).

            Gail Callahan's Color Grid is an exciting new tool for anyone choosing color combinations for any project. You can use it for knitting projects, quilting, painting, home decor and even for planning your flower gardens!I love its versatility. Have you ever been in the heat of a project, you know you need just one more color but your brain just won't go there? Just pull out your color grid for fast and easy color remedies.I also love its mobility. Its small enough to carry in your purse or to stash in the glove compartment of your car so you always have one on hand.If you never seemed to be able to "get" the color wheel, then the Color Grid will be an amazing realization of color relationships and color choices.Priced at just [$], one could easily buy 2. Keep one at home or in your studio. Take the second one with you so you are never without. You never know when a spontaneous stop at a yarn, fabric or art supply store will happen!
