I have seen a lot of posts recently about choosing thread colors, and/or matching them to blank colors. I figured I'd post what I use to help me determine my color selection.

[colorschemedesigner.com]

It is basically a glorified color wheel, but also has the ability to determine contrasting and complimentary colors based on six accepted "eye-pleasing" color combinations. I use it to determine a primary color to match my reel accents, to figure out trim bands, or determine underwrap/overwrap colors. I am sure the more skilled wrappers could use it to figure out new color combinations for butt wraps or marbling. It also has a random button that can give you color combos when you have nowhere to start, or are looking for ideas. Thought I would share it with everyone.

Thanks!

That's cool!! I'll have to bookmark that.

Saved in favorites....Very cool...Thank you!

Wow, before I clicked on it, I was pretty skeptical. This is a pretty cool tool though, and I only looked at it for a few minutes. It suggested a few accent colors I wouldn't have thought of, but actually looked good. Now if it only had the corresponding Madeira thread colors..........
Thanks for the link Andrew!

I got one of those color wheels but this is nicer -- Thanks
