Palette Pan Arrangements

How many possible combinations of pans in a Pocket Palette?

By Maria Coryell-Martin

Pocket Palette with an assortment of watercolor pans.

We’ve been amazed at the many different ways Pocket Palette owners have been customizing their palettes using our stainless steel watercolor pans. After scratching our heads about this around the shop, we really wanted to know–how many different ways can our four pan sizes be arranged in a Pocket Palette?

The problem was trickier than we had anticipated, so we turned to our community to help find the answer. We were humbled by the response, and absolutely blown away by the consensus–over 40 million possible permutations!

How do you arrange your palette? We’d love to see! Post yours on Instagram and tag us @arttoolkit with #pocketpalette!

Thank you to everyone who participated!
