Written By Nikki Mihalik

I’m loving this Joshua-Tree-inspired palette of soft gray-blues, light gray, desert sand, and olive drab! Offering a refreshing aesthetic that feels both grounded and rejuvenating, this is an ideal combo for a brand focused on nature, sustainability, and mindfulness.

Need to see the colors in action?

Here they are applied to Lunar New Year snake illustration I shared on Insta this week:

Happy Friday!


You can now download a free printable PDF of this color palette that includes values for print (CMYK) and web (HEX, RGB, HSL) - as well as the closest Pantone matches for coated and uncoated stock! It’s everything you need to recreate this color combo on your own.
