Title: [Commercial] (?): Deck of Many Colours
Post by: Cholmondely Percival IV on August 22, 2025, 06:52:05 PM
(Or 'Colors', as it will doubtless be labelled when it makes its appearance.)

Having just watched the video about this potentially helpful product I felt moved to grant its creator's request to spread the word in advance of it going into production:

Edit: Following a comment I have added 'Commercial (?)' to the heading, though I have no connection with Ninjon beyond following his channel because I find it interesting and entertaining and finding many of his ideas and techniques worthy of consideration, though in most cases beyond my ability to emulate.

In this instance I am giving exposure to a commercial enterprise, albeit in the same spirit that I might recommend a book or any other product, purely because I believe it may be if interest to some people, as it is to me. If this puts the post into the commercial category, readers are free to view it with scepticism.

Color wheels and Pantone charts have been in existence for years. If you want to get short cuts for triads and other color combinations, these are easy to find on the web. Save your money.

Who has paints in Pantone colours?

Who still thinks painting by number is very creative?  Mix and match…and eyeball for appearance. What did artists do before GW gave names to its paints?

Wow that's a big box of thing cards.

A big box of thing I will rarely refer to beyond the initial oooh shiny moment, before my wife ask how much.

But if others, think its what they need, all the best its there for you.

I will stick with me colour wheel, googlefoo and gathered other colour charts etc, after all it was part of the interest in the hobby was learning some of this stuff, its not really something I thought required this either, there are plenty of artistic resources that teach colour theory.

Thanks for the Pantone suggestion, Aethelflaeda was framed, that has given me a new avenue of research I had not jumped into. Duly googled and have a lot of reading with my cup of tea - cheers!

Dakka has an extensive flamewar. Er, discussion. (:
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/817272.page

Monkeysloth posted some sites:
https://www.colorpalettegen.com/
https://coolors.co/image-picker
https://colordesigner.io/color-palette-from-image
https://colorkit.co/color-palette-from-image/
https://palettegenerator.com/

My solution, of course, is to be behind 20 years in my painting. By then, someone's posted a picture of the figure painted and I steal their idea so I can game. :D

Might want to add [COMMERCIAL] to the subject line, as some hobby painters will find these useful and wish to support Ninjon!  :)

I think the cards are interesting.  The pallet generation sites are cool as well.

Following ced1106's suggestion, I have now added the prefix  'Commercial' to the heading, albeit with a question mark as I am not personally involved in the project and simply wanted to bring it to people's attention as the creator requested.
