The Color Fidget© is an interactive color wheel pin designed for artists, designers, and other creative types. It’s not just a fidget toy, it’s a take-anywhere guide for exploring and selecting harmonic color combinations. The design, by color theory educator Peter Donahue, is based on the idea that there’s so much more to harmony than complements, triads, and red-yellow-blue! RESOURCES COMING SOON

Key Features Expanded
A wheel of twenty hues
Based in color science: The traditional Color Wheel is based on a historic theory that red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors. It therefore usually includes twelve hues — three primaries, three secondaries, and six tertiaries. In contrast, the twenty hues of the Color Fidget are based on the perception-based systems, like the Munsell system, used by color scientists, realist painters and illustrators. More hues also means more nuanced color combinations to choose from!
Three levels of vividness
A new way to think about color harmony: Traditional color wheels display hue relationships — complementary, analogous, triadic, and so on. The research of Ellen Divers, Shigenobu Kobayashi, and others has shown that color palettes evoke an emotional response through their character, not through specific hue combinations. The Color Fidget therefore includes three levels of vividness, to show different characters of each hue.
Two rotating gamut masks
Traditional Color Wheels help you identify hue relationships, but they don’t effectively isolate sets of colors so you can judge how they look together. Limiting the range, or gamut, of available colors is a design method called gamut masking. By spinning the double mask design of the Color Fidget, you can visualize and explore combinations of hues with varying limits of vividness.
Large size
The Color Fidget’s two-inch diameter makes it a show-stopper! It also makes it large enough to clearly “read” different color combinations that show through the gamut masks.
Double pin posts with durable black rubber backs
