I always found choosing colours one of the hardest parts of miniature painting. So I created The Deck of Many Colors to make it simple, giving you palettes that are fast, practical, and inspiring.
Ready-to-Use Palettes
I've tested each scheme on real miniatures, so you know the colors work beautifully on the tabletop.
Paint Matches from Leading Brands
Every swatch includes matches for well-known brands, so you can paint with what you already own.

We all want to spend less time stuck on choices and more time painting, and with the Deck of Many Colors, you can.

The Story Behind the Deck
The Deck of Many Colors began with a simple question: How can choosing colors be easier and more inspiring?
About a year and a half ago, I started experimenting with “color cubes.” They were great for pushing me into palettes I never would have tried otherwise, but they lacked the magic of the fantasy and sci-fi worlds we love to paint. I wanted a tool that combined practical palettes with artwork that sparks imagination. After searching everywhere and coming up empty, I decided to make it myself.
Over the past year, I worked with real artists (no AI shortcuts) to create evocative artwork and curated palettes pulled straight from those pieces. Each palette is matched to miniature paints from leading brands, so instead of staring at a wall of paints, you've got ready-to-use matches in your hand.
The goal is simple: take away the roadblock of decision-making and put the fun back into painting. With just five colors on a card, you're encouraged to mix, experiment, and discover new tones - without the stress of staring at a wall of paints! You can eyeball it if you want, but I’ve also included a variety of paint brands for each colour to help you along the way.
Whether you're a beginner or a veteran painter, the Deck of Many Colors is here to inspire, teach, and help your miniatures tell better stories.
