Kona Printed Color Chart 24" Panel, Fabric by the Yard

This chart is printed on cotton fabric and one panel covers the specturm of solid Kona fabrics. Since it is printed on fabric, it is an accurate chart. Good quality and good color saturation. Make my choices easier.

I purchased this for myself (although it was a bit of a pricey splurge) because I love my Kona cottons almost as much as I did my Michael Miller Fairy Frosts years ago. (And I still have more than 70 colours of that in my tote!) As has already been said, this is a printed reference and does not include actual samples of Kona. Therefore, you cannot count on 100% accuracy in the representation of colours--but as all of us who love textiles know, the best matching is done one-on-one anyway due to normal and expected variations in dye lots, etc. I would not rely on this chart to order Kona sight-unseen online if a perfect match were essential, but it would provide me a solid starting point as I searched for a dealer carrying the colours I wanted to see and compare to my project. I sewed my piece into a wall hanging using a dowel across the top, and it provides a lovely bit of colour in my sewing room as well.

I like Kona brand, great quilt store quality fabric. Price was probably equal to or higher than what I would’ve paid in the quilt store, but I was happy to find it for a specific project.

Accurate

It is so hard to match colors online so even though this may not always show the exact shade it is a lot closer than going off of pictures online so I would recommend

Such a great idea by the fabric company! It's nice to see all the colors of these basic fabrics and be able to pick out coordinating hues.

I ordered 20 colors based on this, replaced 8 once they arrived. Ok, so, I am doing a quilt with 5 colors, and 4 variations of each color. and I needed them to be....gradient like... I am a graphic designer and am used to working with Pantone charts and matching with other substrates. I'd say the colors are within a 10-15% range...If I was matching a manufactured plastic to a print color, we would be fine, but like...this is representing the item it SHOULD match and it does not. I was trying to make color sets that looked like a gradient. So when one green when a bit more olive and one went more teal...that didn't work because they looked WAY off, even if they were somewhat close to the swatch.... But, The fabric swatches seemed to be from KONA, so IDK what to say. I'd just go with the online color swatches (I ordered from Stash Fabrics because they had all the colors) So I wasted $40 on fabric, but it isn't like going to Joanns would have been better due to a limited selection. (though that is where I replaced my colors and am very happy now) In reality, KONA needs to have books of their colors at popular fabric stores where you can choose what you want and order online. I'm sorry seller because you don't deserve a bad rating, but this product simply isn't accurate. There needs to be a better option for all. (I will try to post photos later)

I hated that I had to pay for this, but it really is great and helps a lot when trying to find gradients of colors for a quilt. Now with the big fabric retailer going out of business, this little gem will help a lot, since I can no longer go to a store to look at colors.

The colours appear to be matching the actual material. The cloth the colours are on could have been better
