One more view of the Red-Yellow-Blue color wheel, but in a different way.

Kreinik has a line of silk threads that I just LOVE, and I thought I’d take a stab at a color wheel in them. Their Milkpaint series captures the colors from the 19th century “milkpaints”, and their colors are gorgeous. These aren’t your primary colors, but the “wheel” is captured beautifully!

For each of these thread scheme, or palettes, , I’ll include both an image showing how it was built (to the left), and a thread color schemes, with actual thread numbers, that you can print out. Feel free to save these cards, because you never know when you’ll need them.

Keep your eye out for more color schemes coming in the Simply Color series!

What part of color inspires you?

Happy stitchin’!
