a paper-photograph-inspired color palette

Written By Nikki Mihalik

Axel Oswith has a collection of stunning—and, sometimes, a teensy bit disturbing—photographs that explore color, texture, and shape, including this inspiring image! It celebrates so many things that I love :: paper, deep green, and pale pink. Wouldn’t this make a fantastic color palette for a modern beauty brand?!

DARK, DARK GREEN #182C2B / MODERN GREEN #2F4C4C / LIGHT GRAY #DFDADE

DUSTY PINK #F1C1BD / ANTIQUE PINK #CA6C68

WHAT ARE THESE COLOR CODES? The “hex codes” above are provided as a courtesy for those customizing website colors or looking for general color inspiration. They are not based on paint or Pantone chips. Remember that ink on paper will never look the same as light on a screen. If you like a combination you see, we recommend saving the image and heading to your local hardware store to find paint chips that match. Digital colors will change depending on your phone/tablet/computer screen, so be sure to color match with real swatches. Also, I make up all the color names.

Happy Friday!
