The Baltimore Oriole watercolor color palette
This balanced, painterly palette is anchored by Deep Taupe (#19130E), the dominant wash across the baltimore oriole set. Muted Amber and Deep Amber carry the midtones, and Deep Yellow (#3C2716) grounds the shadows and outline work. Together they capture the soft, layered look of the original hand-painted artwork — copy any value below, or export the whole set as CSS variables, an Adobe ASE, GIMP or Procreate swatch file.
Cross-stitch & marker conversions
Because UsefulPix is built for crafters, every color is already matched to the nearest physical thread and marker, so you can take this palette off-screen. For embroidery and cross-stitch, the closest DMC floss are DMC 3371 (Black Brown), DMC 741 (Tangerine Med), DMC 922 (Copper Light), DMC 3033 (Mocha Brown Vy Lt). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic 110 (Special Black), Copic YR65 (Atoll), Copic YR68 (Orange), Copic E42 (Sand White). These are perceptual nearest-matches (CIEDE2000), so treat them as a faithful starting point and check a physical shade card for critical work.
