The Fern watercolor color palette
This balanced, painterly palette is anchored by Soft Lime (#B3C56F), the dominant wash across the fern set. Olive and Light Lime carry the midtones, and Deep Lime (#7A8A38) 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 471 (Avocado Grn V Lt), DMC 469 (Avocado Green), DMC 989 (Forest Green), DMC 772 (Yellow Green Vy Lt). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic YG07 (Acid Green), Copic G99 (Olive), Copic G94 (Grayish Olive), Copic YG0000 (Lily White). These are perceptual nearest-matches (CIEDE2000), so treat them as a faithful starting point and check a physical shade card for critical work.
