A color card, also known as a shade card, is a curated collection of colors to use in an interior design project. Color cards are visual tools that can be digital or physical and are used to help homeowners and designers choose from a wide variety of colors and color combinations.\n<\/p>\n

A color card is often organized into palettes or schemes and allows one to visualize what a certain color combination<\/a> will look like in real life. Many individuals use color cards to decide what furniture will go with their wall colors, how different colors will look together, etc.\n<\/p>\n
