The Chanterelle watercolor color palette
This soft, airy palette is anchored by Light Orange (#FBC571), the dominant wash across the chanterelle set. Light Yellow and Deep Orange carry the midtones, and Deep Yellow (#C98F40) 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 742 (Tangerine Light), DMC 677 (Old Gold Vy Lt), DMC 970 (Pumpkin Light), DMC 726 (Topaz Light). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic YR04 (Chrome Orange), Copic E30 (Bisque), Copic YR68 (Orange), Copic Y26 (Mustard). These are perceptual nearest-matches (CIEDE2000), so treat them as a faithful starting point and check a physical shade card for critical work.
