Nature & Earth Color Palettes

Ochre, moss, weathered gray, deep soil brown — these palettes pull their colors straight from the outdoors. Each one pairs four to eight coordinated colors with hex codes and RGB values.

Timber
Timber moves through the warm, organic browns of freshly worked hardwood — from very dark walnut heartwood through rich brown, warm mid-oak, lighter cedar, and pale unfinished wood where the grain shows cleanest.

Rocky Shore
Wet dark stone through driftwood gray, warm pebble, pale sand, and sea mist — weathered coastal neutral tones for understated, natural design.

Canyon Clay
Canyon Clay captures the layered red sandstone walls of the American Southwest — from deep rust red through burnt sienna, warm clay, dusty rose, and pale canyon sand. Striking, ancient, and deeply grounded.

Dried Herb
Dried Herb is a muted, aromatic palette of sun-dried botanicals — from deep dried sage and rosemary through dusty lavender and warm straw to a pale, sun-faded cream. Quiet, culinary, and organic.

Forest Floor
Forest Floor is a rich, decomposed palette of woodland earth — from near-black humus through dark bark brown, russet leaf litter, warm tan soil, and pale dry pine needles. Dense, organic, and ancient.

Morning Frost
Morning Frost captures the cold, quiet landscape of early winter — from deep frozen earth through gray-blue frost, pale ice grass, cool silver, and near- white dawn mist. Crisp, still, and beautifully cold.

River Stone
River Stone is a palette of polished, water-smoothed pebbles — deep wet stone through dark slate gray, mid cool gray, warm beige stone, and pale dry gravel. Quiet, composed, and tactile.

Birch Grove
Late autumn in a birch stand — deep forest shadow behind pale bark, warm amber leaves still clinging, silvery gray understory, and birch white sky.
