Deer Creek Digital Color Palette

These color palettes show our range of sixty low fire colors for use in our cloisonné tiles. All three of the palettes have been converted to a single easy to use digital color palette.

Using the design tool is easy. First, select the digital color palette. After it is displayed, use your Web browser's "Save as..." command to save it on your computer.

Now, please choose a design sketch from our Decorative Designs Page. Again, wait for your Web browser to display the sketch and use the "Save as..." command to save it on your computer.

Now, run your paint program and open both the color palette and the decorative design. You can now fill the gray areas of the decorative design with any color from the palette using the color picker tool (often the "eyedropper" tool) and the flood fill tool (often a "paint roller" or "paint bucket" tool). The manual or on-line help for your paint program will tell you which tools to use for your particular program.

Once you have a color combination you like, save the new design. Then, you can contact your nearest Deer Creek Distributor to order a strike-off.
