ColorShelf overview

Organization

Every marker gets an address.

Describe your physical storage as a grid — rows by columns — and ColorShelf assigns each marker a unique RxCy index in the ordering you choose. The marker you need stops being a rummage and becomes a lookup.

How it works

  1. 1Describe your grid

    A 4×13 drawer, a 6×20 case — set the rows and columns to match whatever actually holds your markers.

  2. 2Pick an ordering

    Chromatic harmony keeps related colors as neighbors; alphabetical by code keeps positions predictable. Switch anytime.

  3. 3Look it up

    Search a marker code and get its exact address — R3C5 means row 3, column 5. Grab it without thinking.

A grid that matches your desk, not the other way around.

Any dimensions

The grid mirrors your real storage. Change your setup and the whole arrangement recomputes with fresh addresses.

Orderings made for ink

Chromatic harmony ordering is computed from real color relationships, so gradients and neighbors land next to each other physically.

Lookups, not rummaging

Quick search takes a code or a color and answers with an RxCy address. One glance, one reach.

Print it

With Pro, print swatch sheets carrying the same RxCy labels — a paper index that lives next to your storage.

Keep exploring

Stop hunting. Start looking up.

Set your grid dimensions once and every marker you own gets a place — and an address.
