Has anyone purchased these color cubes to help with paper or ink choices? I’m on the fence with purchasing. I’m a scrapbooker and card maker. Thanks.

I have. I have not crafted as much as I would've like to since I bought them, but the few times I have been able to use them I found them very helpful. I find they help me use colors I would not normally choose, and I have been pleased with the results.

I use them to choose color palettes for embroidery projects. I really like that I can easily compare embroidery threads to the cards. I know I can do the same digitally, but I find it more satisfying to do it physically.

I've seen Jennifer McGuire and Call Me Crafty Al use them on videos but don't have any experience myself.

I use them all the time for cardmaking. I'm terrible with color selection, so I find it quite a bit easier to make something pretty once the colors are chosen for me.

I mostly use mine sort of backwards. I make a lot of patterned paper-based cards, so I'll try to pull a color scheme out of the pattern, but then see if the cubes corroborate the choices.
This is kind of fitting because they were a gift from my kid who is now at college. Up until college, that kid was my second opinion on all such matters.

I have seen them and on the fence. Not sure if it would help me or drive me crazy matching colors up perfectly and than finding patterned papers to match them too.
