The Lid watercolor color palette
This soft, airy palette is anchored by Pale Mist (#E4E7E9), the dominant wash across the lid set. Deep Sky and Muted Blue carry the midtones, and Deep Blue (#5C88CE) 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 3072 (Beaver Gray Vy Lt), DMC 826 (Blue Medium), DMC 3755 (Baby Blue), DMC 800 (Delft Blue Pale). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic N-1 (Neutral Gray No.1), Copic B26 (Cobalt Blue), Copic B23 (Phthalo Blue), Copic BV20 (Dull Lavender). These are perceptual nearest-matches (CIEDE2000), so treat them as a faithful starting point and check a physical shade card for critical work.
