The Fall Leaf watercolor color palette

This balanced, painterly palette is anchored by Light Yellow (#FFCB56), the dominant wash across the fall leaf set. Soft Orange and Light Red carry the midtones, and Deep Red (#A00821) 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 725 (Topaz Med Lt), DMC 816 (Garnet), DMC 722 (Orange Spice Light), DMC 350 (Coral Medium). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic YR14 (Caramel), Copic E29 (Burnt Umber), Copic YR07 (Cadmium Orange), Copic R08 (Vermilion). 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 yellow-400, red-800, orange-500, red-500, rose-800 — or copy the raw HEX, RGB and HSL above, or grab the ready-made CSS custom properties from the sidebar. For accessibility, Light Yellow on Deep Red reaches 5.5:1, comfortably passing WCAG AA for body text.
