a pencil-set-inspired color palette

If my 2019 New Years Resolution wasn’t “spend less,” this luxury pencil set would be packaged up and on its way to me. (Though, now that I think about it, I’d probably never use these glorious writing instruments. I’d treat them how I treated my prize stickers when I was little :: save them in a box somewhere, lose them in a move, then cry that I never got to use them.)

MARIGOLD #DB9B3F / ERASER PINK #F5BAAD / EUROPEAN BLUE #BBC2C8

BLUE-GRAY #6E8692 / DARK BLUE-GRAY #3D515C

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.
