The collaboration between COLOR CIRCLE ART PAINTS and Schulverlag plus AG has resulted in a new, innovative and extremely playful product – now in its 3rd edition and in new packaging!
With the Color wonder box, it is now easy to approach the subject of “color theory” playfully. By conducting your own experiments, for example, you can find out for yourself how colors work or how mixtures of different colors are created.
You can read a short introduction below.

What is the Color wonder box?
We offer you various approaches to the wonderful subject of “color”.
This is independent of any color theory, be it according to Goethe, Itten, Ostwald, Küppers, etc.
In the world of color, the most diverse experts with their color theories and classification systems fight for a place in the brightest light, because the topic of “color” can be approached from different angles:
Via physical, chemical and physiological approaches to explaining the phenomena, or via practical applications in art and crafts, color psychology, but also in relation to esoteric and religious world views.
In any case, the whole thing is extremely confusing for “normal users”.
With the Color wonder box, on the other hand, you start from the theories and knowledge you (may) know and can form your own opinion.
The Color wonder box is ideal for comparing color theories!
You can find help with this on this website – free of charge!
Paint with the bottles directly!
The roughly distributed paint can be drawn into precise shapes with toothpicks, if desired.
Only paint adjacent colors after half an hour, otherwise the surfaces can run into each other (which also results in very beautiful shapes!).
How the Color wonder box works
You can paint areas of color on transparent CD discs from the box (or assortment) with a special thinner from COLOR CIRCLE ART PAINTS directly from the small bottles.
Once the colored areas have dried, you can hold two discs on top of each other, for example, turn them against each other and watch the fascinating play of colors.
If you put one of the small bottles through the hole in the middle of the disc, screw on the white lid and set the resulting spinning top in motion, new mixed colors are created by speed mixing.
If you look at it for a longer time, the opposite colors and other color and shape games also appear.
The Color wonder box was simultaneously published in the well-established large series “bildÖffner” by Schulverlag plus and as part of the COLOR CIRCLE ART PAINTS color range – now in its 3nd edition!
This provides you with a great basis for all design requirements in schools as well as in the private sector.
In addition, the various phenomena such as color contrasts, additive or subtractive color mixing, etc. are supplemented by suggestions for practical application in design lessons.
We can therefore warmly recommend the “bildÖffner” volumes (can be ordered at www.schulverlag.ch or via www.allinonebox.com/webshop). Combine the “bildÖffner” with the Color wonder box, this website and your own materials!
