Hi Beth,

I love the Quiller wheel for pastels, as well as oils. With pastels of course, it is not really possible to ever FIND a stick of a certain color (unless you're VERY organized, like Daniel Green's). However I find its use in really considering the color I am "hunting for" and what I want the end product to be. The analogous wheel is probably a little more useful for pastels, but then, it is specific to an analogous-type scheme.

With regard to the "grayed-down" concept, everything inside the perimieter of the Quiller wheel has some desaturation.
