Color Wheel The Company Gray Scale & Value Finder-4"X6"

The package says "Gray Scale & Value Finder". This common tool is a VALUE FINDER for painting or other art projects or situations where you have to determine the gray values of colors or shading. In other words, a visual helper. These are usually numbered one to ten, as this one is, and are printed as halftones. (You can see a halftone screen in the gray sections under a paragon loupe.) Perfect for painters and illustrators, good price, sturdy enough for its purpose, and even has a protective sleeve. Very happy customer here. However, someone mentioned that it should be eleven divisions, and that refers to a GRAY SCALE for scanning. Proper gray scales are continuous tone (CT) like on a developed photograph, and are divided into 11 steps for 10%, 20%, 30% grays, etc., up to 100% for black, PLUS white. There are also 21 step versions that include 5% increments plus one for white. Gray scales are scanned with artwork to help with tonal and color corrections. Printed gray scales (halftone) are available, often as book companions, but are not appropriate for digital image correction, and should only be used in a pinch and only with the proper eyedropper adjustments. I hope this clears up any confusion for prospective buyers.

Exactly as described. Very useful product delivered promptly.

This is an awesome item. I use this as a guide because I have recently started using oil paints. I kept it in its sleeve to dab paint on for value checks and then I wipe it off.

I like to paint old trains. In black and white. This little card really helps me use antique photos as models. Yeah, it's thin. Yeah, its made of cardboard. Yeah, it will bend. Yeah, its a lot of money to spend on a card. However, many people spend extravagant amounts on greeting cards. I may use a self a laminating sheet to make it a little more durable. The point is, it is exactly what the seller claims it is and does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Accurately shows color values. Easy to use.

Excelente producto, cumplió mis expectativas, muy satisfecho

My grey scale came in perfect condition. It’s replaced my old one which went missing. A grey is an important tool in creative work and accuracy is important. The grey is neither too cold or too warm. This size is easy to store or carry with you. The cut outs let you place what you are look at in the middle of the grey standard and not just next to it so you’re doing less guessing. Who needs this? Artists, interior decorators, architects, fashion designers and merchandisers, dyers, knitters, crocheters, home sewists, stylists. It’s espcially good for creatives to explain color palettes to non-artists like clients or merchandisers. Also, great for at home creatives for whom color coordinating is is not their strong point. If you use a color wheel to help with color choices then you need this to help with values. Getting paint chips or any other diy defeats the purpose of this little tool because breaking down black to white in precise 20% increments by eye is nearly impossible. Your own eye will never be this accurate. You would need to take this tool to the paint shop to recreate it! One tip on how I use grey scales is to mentally imagine what you are working with as being in black and white. You could use a photography app to help but keep in mind they often skew the image and lighting can also change the values. Still it would be very helpful.

The true Monsell chart would start at zero”0” not one”1” and go to ten “10”. This is an example of only. Not a true graphic of tone.

Bij de productinformatie staat dat de valuefinder van metaal is, helaas blijkt het een stukje dun karton te zijn voor € 8,25. Géén aanrader

Wonderful tool. Helps learn tone value and to be honest it's ideal to carry around with you. I would buy this again. Very simple to use.

Papierowy, słabo zapakowany. Przyszedł pognieciony. Nie polecam za tą cenę.

Bra att ha när man målar i svart-vitt för att se alla nyanser.
