HAND MADE UNISON PASTEL COLOUR CHARTS

2018 UPDATE - New colours and logo added

Toward the end of 2018 Unison Colour Ltd approved my hand made charts for colour accuracy and requested their logo be displayed to show their approval. So with a redesign required to accommodate the new midnight colours now was an opportune time to also accommodate the Unison Colour logo.

As from late 2018 my hand made Unison pastel colour chart sets show the full range of 380 colours which include 6 new darks. Two colours from the midnight set had already been introduced to the range, they were Dark 19 and Dark 20. The six new colours are Dark 21, 22, 23, 24 and Carbon Black 1 and 2.
​
The insert of discontinued colours is no longer provided with these sets.

2018 Update

Picture
At the end of 2017 Unison Colour redesigned their website and removed the colour wheel page from the site. Before it's removal the Unison colour wheel included the Turquoise set and the Heavenly Shadows set as part of the full Unison range. I have been informed that these two sets are now discontinued and no longer available. I have therefore redesigned my hand made charts in line with these changes. This means the size of Unison's full colour range is now 374.
I have once more redesigned all three charts in line with the new changes (see below) and have also updated the A4 insert showing all the discontinued colours, see right.


2017 update

Picture
In 2017 certain colours from the Unison range were discontinued reducing the size of their range to 388. It is particularly worth noting that 12 of the 18 Orange set are discontinued and the remaining 6 have been renumbered. I have updated all three charts in line with these changes and have also included an A4 insert showing the discontinued colours, see right.

Individually hand made Unison Pastel Colour Charts can really help you decide which is the most beneficial colour to add to your collection. As these charts are hand made using actual Unison pastels they give a totally accurate colour representation of each pastel. The printed and digital colour charts are helpful but they only offer an approximation of  the pastel colours in the Unison range. Now you can always select the right colour with an accurate Unison pastel colour chart from GrandPortraits.co.uk.

I am enthusiastic about these splendid British made pastels and simply want to share my enthusiasm with others. These charts could prove particularly beneficial to artists who wish to expand their collection of Unison pastels through the purchase of single pastels. They provide an accurate reference for new colour purchases and when replacing existing pastels. They might prove particularly valuable to art groups where the expense of a set of charts can be shared amongst the group.

Hand Made Unison Pastel Colour Charts
The charts are first of all designed on a computer to display Unison colour reference codes. The reference numbers or codes are sorted in alphabetical order. The charts are then printed and ready for the colours to be added by hand using the actual pastel sticks from the complete Unison range. There are three individual charts in the set, each chart is laminated in a clear A3 pouch. The charts are numbered 1 to 3. On chart No.3 there is a 'key' to all the reference codes.
​
NEW - In 2017 some colours were discontinued from the Unison range.
As well as the three A3 charts there is also an A4 insert showing all the discontinued colours. Although I have been unable to get official confirmation from Unison as to the exact colours that are discontinued, I am pretty sure from the colour wheel on the Unison Colour website, that the insert is correct as from mid 2017. 
​
Note: There may be a very slight deepening of each colour after the laminating process but relative accuracy is maintained.
The cost of postage and packaging is included in the price. Shipping to UK only.

Testimonials

Hi Glynn
Thank you for the 3 laminated Unison pastel colour charts, they have just arrived and will be so useful when identifying replacement colours. A printed colour chart is unsatisfactory because it does not illustrate the correct colours, as your charts do by using actual pastel samples against each number.
Regards
T Knockton

GrandPortraits takes full responsibility for the accuracy and colour referencing of each chart.
