#colour selection

Colour Designer is a website that has a variety of tools that can help you in suggesting colour schemes for your project(s).

These tools are :

Color Name Finder

Color Converter

Random Color Generator

Color Wheel

Game face

Skin colour: Here you go and here

Rotating: 

Use the selection tools to select the area you wish to rotate, 

then Select menu, Transform (shortcut: Ctrl+T on Windows, Cmmd+T on Macs), 

then drag outside the transform box to rotate. 

To finish and “freeze” the transform/rotation, click the OK button at the bottom of the screen (or again use Ctr+T or Cmmd+T).

You can use the Eyedropper tool on the main toolbar (shortcut key: I, for a verbal pun - thanks for the reminder, queenlinee!), 

or hold the Alt key (Windows) to temporarily change the current tool to the Eyedropper (Macs the same, anyone?), changing back to the current tool when you release, 

or you can use right-click (mouse or pen side button) for Eyedropper colour sampling (File menu, Environment Setting to change right-click from Eyedropper to Eraser.)

You can use the Window menu, Palette to display the Palette window. Use the icons at the bottom of the Palette window to add the current colour or another colour to the palette. Click on a palette colour to change the current colour to the palette colour.

Note: you can also load an image in the Reference window (Window menu, Reference) and set the Eyedropper tool above the reference image while still using the Brush tool on the main canvas. That way you can click on the Reference window to choose a colour, then paint with that colour on the canvas.

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

With the recent progress I've made on my Generations Quilt blocks, I wanted to take some time to share my colour planning process! This isn't the method I've used for every one of my quilts, but is one I've used before, and I wanted to share it in case it helps any of you in your own creative pursuits!

One big step in this process is mocking up the colours in the layout of the block they'll be used in. My sample uses digital mock ups, but a similar process can be achieved using pen and paper, assuming you have the right coloured pens that is!
