How to Swatch Markers (and Make a Color Chart)
Make a marker swatch chart that actually helps: correct paper, 2-layer swatches, simple numbering, and quick palette building for coloring pages.
Use the same paper you color on
Markers look different on different paper. If you print pages, swatch on the exact paper you print on. If you color in a book, swatch on similar paper weight.
Make swatches that show real behavior
- One-pass swatch: shows lightest behavior.
- Two-pass swatch: shows saturation and darkness.
- Tiny blend strip: shows how it transitions to a neighbor color.
Turn swatches into palettes
Pick a base color family, add a shadow, add an accent. Repeat. Small palettes look more 'designed' than random rainbow coloring.
