“I love this colour tracking calendar game. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.”
The BTC Colour Tracker challenge debuted in January 2024. More than 100 players signed up to kickstart the new year cracking Codes and tracking Stamps in the BASICS 1 collection.
If you missed that debut, don’t worry… January 1 may be a good day to start something new. But any day is a good day for colour, and a new round of BASICS 1 colour tracking is starting soon!
There are 400 colours in the complete BreakThroughColour gamut. This free downloadable BASICS 1 calendar PDF gives you the very best starter set, a print-and-play way to up your colour game and explore a new colour (almost) every day.
“There is nothing more satisfying than seeing I selected the correct colours 😄”
WHAT’S A ‘COLOUR CODE’?
Every colour in the BreakThroughColour system has its own unique Colour Code, a visual infographic that tells you exactly what’s in the mix.
If there’s only one ingredient in the colour, then there’s only one colour in the Colour Code, like these…
These eight Colour Codes are easy to crack because they are all single-ingredient colours that match perfectly with their solid-coloured Stamps.
But once we start combining these ingredients, formulas become fractions, and mixes get a little more mysterious.
Here’s a sample set of some of the half-and-half Colour Codes in the BASICS 1 collection:
Hue + Hue gives us another Hue.
Hue + White turns a Hue into a Tint.
And Hue + Black makes a Shade.
There are 19 different ways to pair the original eight ingredients into half-and-half colours, and their 2-part Codes are pretty easy to pair with the single-colour swatches we get when we mix those parts.
Can you picture their mixes?
Part colour savvy, part process of elimination, cracking Colour Codes and collecting Colour Stamps is a great way to add a little dose of colour to your day and inspire whatever you’re working on.
And if you’re not working on anything, this colour-full quest might be just what you need to get back on track.

“Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying this calendar challenge. I’m not getting the colours right everytime but my “eye” is being trained. Thank you.”
HABIT TRACKER + COLOUR = COLOUR TRACKER!
Tracking colours is a simple but powerful way to nurture your colour practice (almost) every day. Matching each Colour Code with its Colour Stamp shouldn’t take you more than a few minutes.
And even if you binge through all the colours at the end, you’ll still end up with a colourful full-of-colour calendar, cracking codes and adding more colours to your personal practice palette.
The sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll be ready to keep on going with BASICS 2, the companion collection that will give you a full gamut sampler set to go even further…
