50 cards, 50 real artist artworks, 50 hand-curated palettes. The Deck of Many Colors is a painting inspiration deck for miniature painters who want a tangible reference for their next project, not just a random algorithm. It’s a tool built to spark your creativity and guide your brush.
The story
NINJON worked directly with about 50 individual artists to bring this deck to life, commissioning every single piece of art you see. There's no AI here, no stock photos, just genuine human creativity, and every artist gets full credit. Our mission was simple: create a deck that not only inspires you with incredible artwork but also gives you the exact paint matches to recreate those vibrant palettes yourself. This isn't just a deck of cards; it's a practical tool made by painters, for painters.
Box, borders, logo, and the Ninjon emblem itself — all designed by Mary McNulty at Harmonise Creative.
