TEMPLATES FOR PIGMENT MAPPING STRINGS AND WHEELS
The first two files are for strings of tints and greys
REGULAR A 12-sector wheel with places for rich greys, tints of greys, pigment mapping
18 Sector Mapping Wheel (this one is great for accurately mapping a dot of all colours you make or buy in exactly the wheel position they belong in, so it has 18 sector divisions).
STAR The same options but with a star shape, which divides the hue sectors further, allowing space for mapping dots of convenience colours and mixes you made within their hue sector position.(Below is a video about this wheel)
EXAMPLE: Mixed swatches from yellows, yellow-oranges, yellow-greens, some transparent, some metallic
