I finally caved and bought all four Colour Cubes (the newest Second Edition set), because honestly… they were just too pretty to resist. When my local art shop here in Melbourne started stocking them, it suddenly became way too easy to grab the whole set. In this video I do a proper unboxing and share my very first impressions—what they feel like as a product, how they’re presented, and why I’m so excited to actually use them as a practical colour tool rather than just admire them. After the unboxing, I pick a card and challenge myself to use that limited palette to colour in a Christmas picture, which is such a fun way to test how usable the palettes are straight away. This is very much a first impressions review, and I’m not pretending I’ve discovered everything in one sitting—but it’s enough to get a feel for how inspiring the cubes are for swatching, planning, and getting you out of a colour rut. I’ll be doing deeper dives into each cube in future videos so we can look through more of the images and make art with the swatches properly.
