Great idea but over priced for the quality

I was disappointed with the thin paper color chips and wheels given the price tag... although my whole family played and enjoyed it. The thin pieces won't last repeated use. Even if they'd just been on cardstock it would have been better. Bummed, but I've loved many other products!

So glad to hear the whole family enjoyed Palette! The chips are card stock, albeit lighter weight. Palette was engineered with chips to slide into the palettes neatly. A vote of confidence - The chips have been used again and again in our store, and they've held up to the test.

Great game for artists and everyone who loves color

A new type of game that focuses on color memory; I bought this one to help keep my color skills sharp (I'm a professional artist), however this game is great for family game time and teaches about the beauty of the colors that surround us in nature and in art

Palette from Fat Brain Toys

This is based on an excellent concept. Will help the kids become more astute observers, and more conscious of all the different shades of a color.

Too many similar shades
Posted 7/27/2011 by Adriana
Rating: 
I love the idea behind this product, but the actual playing turned out to be very complicated. There are a LOT of colors to choose from, and many shades are extremely similar to each other. So much so that even with the selected color tile next to the color wheels it's sometimes hard to tell which one is the correct match. The solution we found to this problem was to play with half the wheels/color tiles. This turned the game from frustrating to actually enjoyable. In all fairness, printing consistent colors is something extremely hard to do, specially in the blue/purple range, and that is why Pantone color fans are so expensive. This game does a fair job of it.

Think of it this way - a 48 box of crayons is much more fun than just 8 crayons. We think Palette is so fun and vibrant because it's not easy! We've been known to turn up the lights during game play to see subtle color differentiations clearly. The suggestion of playing with half the color wheels is also a good one if Palette is too paint-staking. And, the more people you play with- the easier it is to identify those who really get hue.

Great game for a family of creative people with good attention spans and good lighting in the house! Can be played around coffee table while other activities are going on. Be prepared for some debate about matching. People don't see colors exactly the same way and some of the color swatch cards don't perfectly match the color wheels.

Our granddaughters, ages 7 and 5, enjoy playing this game with us. Color memory is definitely more challenging than we expected it to be. For that reason, the game takes longer to finish than we thought it would. We sometimes play with partners to speed things along, and enjoy the element of collaboration. The quality of the materials is excellent, and the palettes, color wheels and color chips appeal to the senses. When the game is over, we try to imagine what we might paint with the colors on our palette.

Palette Game

This is a unique game that I can play with my granddaughter when she comes over. It is a little old for her since she is only 4 years old, but I knew that when I purchased it and intend for her to grow into it.
I think we will have fun learning colors together and discerning hues of colors together.

This color memory game allows for a use of memory not often considered.
Really different from most games--very fun

Palette is a really neat game. It's very fun--a very creative and novel idea for a game. My husband is an artist and he loves it. He thought it was really neat the way the color wheels are mixed up in terms of warms and cools, which really helps to make the game more challenging. The game is so different from other games--I've never seen a game before that focuses on identifying colors rather than focusing on the usual fare (words, etc.). Very unique and fun. The way your eyes are tricked by seeing the colors in different relationships with one another makes it very funny when you turn over your card to see if you identified the color correctly. We laugh and laugh when we see how we were thrown off, which adds a lot of fun. It promotes a lot of interaction and discussion. It's fun to have found a game that my husband loves. My 3-year-old daughter is too little to really get how this game works, which makes sense because it's rated for 6 and above. But she has fun putting the chips into the palettes, which makes for a whole additional fine motor game she enjoys. We'll be taking this game to a New Years Eve game night and expect the adults and teens will have a really fun (and funny) time with this game.
Great variation

I only reviewed the game from the outside packaging but just loved the idea. I purchased this for my two granddaughters for Easter. It just seemed to fit since so much about Easter involves color.

The toy was ordered as a Christmas present. Since the children adore anything that has to do with colors, painting, coloring and etc. We can't wait to see how much fun that they and us (parents) will have with this game!!
