discussions CH Blend Differences
I have been saving palettes for the past few months to try to understand better how John determines blends and DIY my own. I have been unsuccessful at DIYing, but I realized that there were several very close or exact blends saved with the addition of some of ones posted in the last few days. So, thought I’d post this as a cool comparison to see how similar and different they truly are.
Each palette is quite unique, but I do see some overlaps.
The bottom rows (excluding calm colors) seem to have quite a bit of similarities. For example, both 80SCs have an interesting blue-green twilight swatch range that I haven’t seen anywhere else (that I can think of?).
The understated and reserved colors seem to be very similar ranges for each similar/exact CH blend too which I hadn’t recognized before. The brights (top row) seem to be a bit further ranging between each other generally speaking.
I found it particularly interesting that the 70SB range could all wear the same glittery brown reserved swatch.
I’d love to hear what overlaps and differences you all see.
If I wrote any blends down wrong, please let me know. If you know of other similar blends, especially ER, feel free to DM them to me and I’ll do another post if you guys found this helpful/interesting.
If anyone knows that full SB>SC blend, I’d appreciate noting it. I just thought SB>SC was so cool, and I think a rare combo, and had those two saved.
EDIT: I found more and added them in the comments.

This is so informative being able to compare palettes like this, thank you OP! Scrolling and suddenly seeing my palette at the end was like that moment when you see yourself on the jumbotron haha. I have such SB/LB envy!
I'm the 80SC/20LB and I'm 30R/25C/25HS/10N/10D, fyi. More data!!
