The Border Collie watercolor color palette

This balanced, painterly palette is anchored by Pale Orange (#F6EFE4), the dominant wash across the border collie set. Muted Taupe and Light Taupe carry the midtones, and Deep Ash (#181715) 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 Ecru (Ecru), DMC 309 (Rose Dark), DMC 310 (Black), DMC 3047 (Yellow Beige Lt). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic E40 (Brick White), Copic T-9 (Toner Gray No.9), Copic 110 (Special Black), Copic E23 (Hazelnut). These are perceptual nearest-matches (CIEDE2000), so treat them as a faithful starting point and check a physical shade card for critical work.

Using these colors in web & print

On the web, the nearest Tailwind CSS classes are orange-50, taupe-600, neutral-900, taupe-300, stone-500 — or copy the raw HEX, RGB and HSL above, or grab the ready-made CSS custom properties from the sidebar. For accessibility, Pale Orange on Deep Ash reaches 15.7:1, comfortably passing WCAG AA for body text.
