This is for anyone who has the Robax Palette . I combined both the 85 and 41 circular PDF files to make one 12" swatch sheet, and added numbers. Hope anyone who has the Robax finds it useful.
......and to overthink... mine is numbered differently... so... what to do...?
How is yours numbered? Better question, how do you want it numbered? Let me know! I'll crank out an edit for you. Your number system is no doubt better than mine!
Hahaaa - can you see this? My numbering makes no sense at all. Inside large ring, outside large ring. Inside small ring, outside small ring. It's just for reference to my chart, and because I lined up my colors that way before I added numbers. I think. https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2QbgV-DEs...0/SAM_3584.JPG
Dini,
I can't see how the 41 palette is numbered for sure. Maybe this will work. Start with the inner ring (center of 41 palette working toward 85 palette outer perimeter) of the 41 palette and give me start to finish number, 2nd ring from center, 3rd, and so on.
Inner ring 1 (41 palette): 1 to ?
Inner ring 2 (41 palette): ? To ?
Inner ring 1 (85 palette): ? To ?
Outer ring 2 (85 palette): ? To ?
I think this will help me get it right.
Holly,
I'll do the same for your system, if you give me the same info.
Inner ring 1 (41 palette): 1 to ?
Inner ring 2 (41 palette): ? To ?
Inner ring 1 (85 palette): ? To ?
Outer ring 2 (85 palette): ? To ?
I hope my reasoning makes sense, I'm confusing myself writing this
OMG it's a miracle! I turned my palette around to see the 1 at the top and it goes clockwise starting from the outer circle just like this template! YAY!!!!!!!!! I even numbered the 49 on the inside circle right behind the 1 just like this template. GMTA!!!! So stoked!
Now I just need to find someone who has a 12" printer to print this on watercolor paper for me. Any ideas?
Holly,
I made it 12" so the well swatches were a decent size. I could reduce it to 8", but I don't think it would be as good. PM me your address and I'll send you a couple prints.

Oh my gosh, you are so sweet! Thank you! I agree - the 8" makes the wells very small. You don't get a good area for going from light to dark on each color. I printed out the template that they had on the robax website but it's so small, just 8 inches wide.
Just a thought, do you want me to change 1,100, 86 to red or another color or bold them out? Or different color and bold out, so they're easier to spot them.
Dini,I created the combined template using the two downloaded PDF files. I decided to make one from scratch so it can be fully edited. Both the PDF and SVG files are below, someone may want to edit the SVG. The 1, 100, & 86 numbers are lined up, you may or may not like this one better. The wells are a little different
I don't know if all the files I uploaded are confusing to those reading the thread, feel free to edit or delete, won't upset me. On the template I made from scratch, the wells are the same size as the first file, maybe off a micron at most. It prints out cleaner than Robax site PDF's I combined. I think you're wide format printer will let you print a 13" palette. Use the SVG file to enlarge so it prints crisp without distortion.
Glad you like it! The SVG makes it easier for anyone or me to edit should someone have a different numbering system or wants a different size! :cool:

Holly,
Mailed out today, and should arrive by Thursday. Sent you the Tracking Number in a PM.
Currently my Winsor Newton & Daniel Smith colors are in the Robax. Still some room, have to decide about adding Sennelier or continue to use them from the tubes. Suggestions? Would you add them? Love this palette, but took me awhile to organize it.
That is gorgeous! Are you planning to add any more W&N colors to your collection? Or do you have all the colors now?
If you are done with W&N for sure, yeah go ahead and add colors from other brands. Mine is almost full of Daniel Smith colors, and as we all know, there's like 240 or so colors so I'd need 3 of these Robax palettes before I have room for other brands. LOL

! I sleep 4-5 hours every night or in the wee hours of the morning, no matter what time I go to sleep. I've been like this as far back as I can remember, my father had the same strange sleeping hours! I've had sleep studies at my doctor's insistence, after every sleeping pill he insisted I needed made me sleep 4-5 hours!
