What's your swatch situation? (no..not the watch brand)
I hope everyone in the Midwest or Eastern seaboard in the US is staying cool. My son is at overnight camp this week with no AC, which means I've had unusual stretches of uninterrupted thinking time. One thing I've been turning over: how much people actually rely on physical swatch tools as part of color implementation, and whether that changes over time.
Did you use a swatch book or fan heavily after your analysis in check for harmony or attribute matching?
A few hypotheses I'm sitting with:
-S types may hold onto physical references longer because a concrete comparison point is more reliable than an abstract rule. N types often internalize the framework earlier and drop the swatch sooner, which isn't always a sign of mastery. Sometimes it's just pattern-matching confidence running ahead of actual accuracy.
-Si-dominant and Si-auxiliary types (ISxJ and ESxJ) may be the most likely to actually collect multiple swatches and fans, not just use them occasionally. Si builds detailed internal sensory libraries, and a physical reference collection is a very natural extension of that.
-And then there's a completely different behavior I'm curious about: the person who decided the existing fans weren't quite right and built their own out of paint swatches. (You know who you are.) My guess is that's lprobably more of an NT one: the system has gaps, the available tools don't fully solve the problem, so obviously the answer is to make a better one from scratch.
What's your type, and what's your swatch situation?
