The Cherry Blossom watercolor color palette
This soft, airy palette is anchored by Light Rose (#F9E6E9), the dominant wash across the cherry blossom set. Soft Rose and Dusky Rose carry the midtones, and Deep Rose (#984B43) 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 819 (Baby Pink Light), DMC 3689 (Mauve Light), DMC 603 (Cranberry), DMC 3861 (Cocoa Light). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic RV21 (Light Pink), Copic E04 (Lipstick Natural), Copic R83 (Rose Mist), Copic E71 (Champagne). These are perceptual nearest-matches (CIEDE2000), so treat them as a faithful starting point and check a physical shade card for critical work.
