Color wheel palette
First Claim
1. An improved color wheel palette, said palette comprising, in combination:
- (a) a generally circular bottom plate useful as a color palette and having a raised annular peripheral shelf and a non-raised central portion, said shelf having a plurality of spaced color paint wells disposed in said shelf, said central portion being divided into a plurality of separate color mixing wells;
(b) a generally circular cover plate of about the same size and general configuration as said bottom plate and dimensional so that it releasably stacks completely over said bottom plate to protect color paints when in said color paint wells, said cover plate having a raised annular peripheral shelf and a non-raised central portion, said shelf having a plurality of spaced paint or color-mixing wells shallower than said color paint wells of said bottom plate and in registry therewith to hold said cover plate in place, said central portion of said cover plate being divided into a plurality of separate color-mixing wells in registry with the color-mixing wells of said bottom plate.

Abstract
The color wheel palette includes a generally circular bottom plate with a raised annular shelf and a non-raised central portion, the shelf having a number of spaced color paint wells uniformly disposed therein which may contain color paints therein, while the central portion is divided by raised partitions into a number of color-mixing wells. The shelf wells are sloped downwardly and outwardly from their inner margins to help pool the paints therein. A generally circular cover plate of a slightly larger size and the same general configuration as the bottom plate is releasably stacked over the bottom plate to protect the paint. The cover plate has preferably three groups of three shallower color paint or color-mixing shelf wells which register with the shelf wells of the bottom plate. Each group is prefereably about 120° apart and aligned with a different one of the three central portion color-mixing wells of the cover plate, which register with those of the bottom plate. The palette may also include a generally circular top plate stacked on and of about the same size as the cover plate. The cover plate contains grooves in its top surface which form partitions to divide the cover plate into separate color mixing areas when it is inverted. All three plates have peripheral sidewalls which flare outwardly. That portion of the top plate has less flare so that the top plate stacks on the cover plate with its top surface well above that of the cover plate.
