The Color Fidget© is an interactive color wheel designed for artists, designers, and other creative types. It’s a take-anywhere guide for exploring and selecting harmonic color combinations. The design, by color theory educator Peter Donahue, is based on the idea that there’s so much more to harmony than complements, triads, and red-yellow-blue! Available as an enamel pin.

Key Features Expanded
A wheel of twenty hues
Based in color science: The traditional Color Wheel is based on a historic theory that red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors. It therefore usually includes twelve hues — three primaries, three secondaries, and six tertiaries. In contrast, the twenty hues of the Color Fidget are based on the perception-based systems, like the Munsell system, used by color scientists, realist painters and illustrators. More hues also means more nuanced color combinations to choose from!
Three levels of vividness
A new way to think about color harmony: Traditional color wheels display hue relationships — complementary, analogous, triadic, and so on. The research of Ellen Divers, Shigenobu Kobayashi, and others has shown that color palettes evoke an emotional response through their character, not through specific hue combinations. The Color Fidget therefore includes three levels of vividness, to show different characters of each hue.
Two rotating gamut masks
Traditional Color Wheels help you identify hue relationships, but they don’t effectively isolate sets of colors so you can judge how they look together. Limiting the range, or gamut, of available colors is a design method called gamut masking. By spinning the double mask design of the Color Fidget, you can visualize and explore combinations of hues with varying limits of vividness.
Large size
The Color Fidget’s two-inch diameter makes it a show-stopper! It also makes it large enough to clearly “read” different color combinations that show through the gamut masks.

FAQ
How will my order be packed?
We take great care in packaging every order. All pins are mounted to a backing card and securely placed in a corrugated box for protection. Depending on the size and quantity of pins, multiple items may be mounted to a single card. If you prefer not to receive a sticker or backing card, just leave a note at checkout or email us before your order ships—we’re happy to accommodate and reduce waste whenever possible.
When will my order ship?
Our small team processes orders within 1–3 business days. If your order is time-sensitive, please email us before placing your order to confirm we can accommodate your timeline. We can’t guarantee same-day shipping, so reaching out first is the best way to avoid delays.
Will my order come with a tracking number?
Yes, every order includes a tracking number. Once your shipping label is created, you’ll receive an email with tracking details. Please note that USPS doesn’t always scan packages at every stop, so tracking updates may be delayed even while your order is in transit.
Can I use multiple promo codes on one order?
In most cases, only one promo code can be applied per order. However, free shipping within the USA is automatically applied at checkout once the minimum is met—no code needed. If you're using a 15% off code during a retirement sale, those may be used together if both conditions apply.
Where are you based?
We’re located in New Jersey, USA. At this time, we do not have a physical storefront or drop-in location. All orders are processed and shipped from our studio.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on the weight of your order, your location, and the shipping method you choose. Orders over $60 within the USA qualify for free USPS Ground shipping—no code needed.
What are enamel pins?
Enamel pins are small, wearable pieces of art designed to be worn on clothing, bags, or displayed on pinboards and accessories. Each Gray Muse pin is hand-illustrated and created with intention—to inspire self-expression, spark joy, and celebrate the beauty in the little things.
What shipping methods do you offer?
We ship all orders through USPS. To avoid delays or returned packages, please double-check your mailing address before completing your order. If you need a specific shipping speed, you can select your preferred method at checkout.
