130 Cards, Millions Of Combinations

Choose Colours And Make Colour Schemes – Whatever The Project

Swatchos are a box of 130 cards to help you choose and work with colours. And because they are swatch cards they're perfect for moving around to create colour schemes for your project – whatever the project might be.

Use Your Hands

Swatchos were created for your hands. They're designed to be played with, mixed up and enjoyed. Get away from your screen for a moment and enjoy the process.

Hi! I just received my Swatchos. I just wanted to say how brilliant they are and thank you for coming up with this amazing idea!

Each swatch card has one main colour on the front. The reverse has two colours along the edges: one darker and one lighter. They are positioned along the edges so when fanned out in a group you can use them to create colour palettes.

On the reverse of each card there are three darker versions of the main colour and three lighter.

Transfer your colours to your on screen project with downloadable swatch files – to be used in Adobe CC. You can download them here.

Each of the seven colours on the card has a CMYK value and RGB Hex code. And each card is numbered for easy sorting and reference.

The Problem With Colour Books

Better Than Fan Style Colour Books

Colour books have one major issue. All the colours are stuck in one book. So if you want to put two colours next to each – you can't.

That's why Swatchos are individual cards. That's on purpose. They're designed to be played with, to be shuffled, to be mixed up.

Colour Accuracy

Swatchos have been designed to be as colour accurate as possible. The cards themselves have been designed using the FOGRA39 colour profile which keeps the colour between the designer (me) and the printer as accurate as possible. The conversion of the those colours to RGB has also been carried out in a controlled way from CMYK FOGRA39 to sRGB.
