Vintage Color Theory Postcards - Set of 10

A set of 10 Retro Color Palettes & Design Charts - Graphic Design Reference Cards - Artist Color Study Prints

After early color theory charts and design teaching diagrams
Drawn from historical color studies used by artists, printers, and educators, this collection explores the visual language of hue, tone, and balance through simplified diagrams and structured palettes. Wheels, gradients, and value scales reveal a time when color was taught as both science and craft — a system of relationships meant to guide painters, designers, and early printmakers.

Originally produced as instructional charts, the plates reflect the clarity and restraint of vintage graphic design: clean typography, bold primary forms, and an emphasis on visual learning. Removed from their original teaching contexts and gathered into a contemporary postcard portfolio, the images become portable references — part design archive, part studio tool, part correspondence object.
This set reimagines historical color theory as an object of exchange, bridging education, print culture, and modern creative practice.
