A paint teaching set which includes a base having a central portion which is provided with a circular array of equi-angularly spaced recesses adapted to replaceably receive pads containing pigments making up progressively different colors of the color spectrum. The base has a rearwardly extending integral flange which has a plurality of substantially flat, individual tab members spaced circumferentially about the periphery of the flange and radially outwardly therefrom. A resiliently firm transparent cover having a plurality of sets of distinctively different visible selector indicia thereon is provided for selecting, combining and balancing colors. The cover is adapted to be frictionally retained over the base for sliding rotation with respect thereto. The cover includes a rearwardly extending cylindrical flange integral with a circular window portion which overlays the central portion of the base and a radially outwardly extending, relatively flat lip integral with the cover flange and adjacent the end thereof. The cover flange and lip of the cover are adapted to be slideably received over the base flange and tabs of the base so as to be frictionally retained thereon for rotation with respect thereto regardless of the position of the paint set.
