The Holly watercolor color palette

This balanced, painterly palette is anchored by Deep Emerald (#68B484), the dominant wash across the holly set. Light Emerald and Deep Teal carry the midtones, and Deep Green (#144F29) 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 913 (Nile Green Med), DMC 966 (Jade Ultra Vy Lt), DMC 943 (Green Bright Md), DMC 3817 (Celadon Green Lt). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic YG67 (Moss), Copic G21 (Lime Green), Copic G46 (Mistletoe), Copic G85 (Verdigris). 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 emerald-500, emerald-100, teal-600, olive-400, green-900 — or copy the raw HEX, RGB and HSL above, or grab the ready-made CSS custom properties from the sidebar. For accessibility, Light Olive on Deep Green reaches 6.8:1, comfortably passing WCAG AA for body text.
