A visual aid displaying the range of hues available from a set of coloring implements, designed for reproduction on paper, allows users to preview and select colors accurately. An example involves an artist creating a layout displaying the specific shades produced by a collection of alcohol-based illustration tools. The layout is then replicated through standard printing processes.
Such a resource offers significant advantages in planning and executing visual projects. It facilitates informed decisions regarding color palettes and mitigates the potential for unexpected results stemming from discrepancies between perceived colors and actual application. Historically, physical samples, such as painted swatches, served this purpose, but easily accessible and modifiable printed versions provide increased convenience and efficiency.
Subsequent sections will delve into the creation, utilization, and customization of these visual tools, exploring how they contribute to artistic workflow and contribute to accuracy when creating visual representations.
