Ocean & Sky Color Palettes
The blue-greens of open water and the blue-grays of open sky, collected into ready-to-use palettes. Each one includes four to eight coordinated colors with hex codes and RGB values.
Deep Trench
Six ocean trench blues from abyssal black through deep sea, mid depth, shallowing, and sunlit surface blue — the vertical color profile of the deep ocean.

Cloud Break
Cloud Break moves through the soft, desaturated blue-grays of an open sky with partial cloud cover — storm-edged gray-blue through cool cloud blue, open mid-sky, soft pale cloud, and nearly white cloud light at the brightest point.

Coral Lagoon
Coral Lagoon moves through the vivid, luminous blues and cyans of a shallow tropical reef — deep lagoon navy, clear reef blue, bright lagoon teal, open surf, and pale sand-bar shallows where the beach begins.

Evening Tide
Evening Tide captures the dramatic moment when the ocean meets a warm sunset sky — deep navy water in the foreground, a shifting coral horizon, and pale peach and cream where the sky brightens toward the last daylight.

Glacial Waters
Glacial Waters captures the extraordinary color of glacial melt — shadowed blue-green ice, rich glacier teal, the vivid saturated blue of ice melt in sunlight, pale glacial blue, and the near-white of clear surface meltwater.

North Sea
North Sea captures the cold, overcast quality of northern Atlantic and North Sea light — deep dark waters, steely mid-ocean blue, gray-washed swells, muted horizon, and the pale washed-out sky of a northern winter day.

Harbor Blue
Harbor Blue is the palette of a working harbor at midday — deep harbor water, mid-ocean blue, clear slate sky, steel gray dock, and pale chalky sea wall. Functional, maritime, and quietly beautiful.

Pink Dawn
Pink Dawn captures the brief, luminous sky between night and sunrise — deep midnight blue giving way to violet, rose, warm peach, and soft golden light at the horizon. Rare, tender, and full of possibility.

Silver Sea
Silver Sea is the palette of the ocean under overcast skies — from deep pewter through cool gray-blue, silver ocean, pale mist, and cold white sky. Moody, atmospheric, and quietly dramatic.
View palette →
Tide Pool
Tide Pool is the palette of intertidal rock pools — warm mineral water, teal algae, deep kelp green, bright sea glass, and pale sandy limestone. Layered, alive, and quietly fascinating.

Dusk Shore
A coastal sunset from the waterline — dark teal water in the foreground, warm coral blazing at the horizon, peach sky fading overhead, and pale fading light at the edge.
View palette →
Open Sea
The deep-water color range of open ocean — abyssal dark blue at depth, strong mid-ocean blue, clear seafoam at the surface, and pale horizon where sea meets sky.

Lagoon at Noon
Overexposed midday light on shallow Caribbean water — turquoise, aqua, warm sand, and blinding foam white.
