The Marigold watercolor color palette
This soft, airy palette is anchored by Deep Amber (#FF960D), the dominant wash across the marigold set. Light Amber and Soft Green carry the midtones, and Orange (#FD5D04) 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 740 (Tangerine), DMC 444 (Lemon Dark), DMC 955 (Nile Green Light), DMC 946 (Burnt Orange Med). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic YR65 (Atoll), Copic YR14 (Caramel), Copic G24 (Willow), Copic YR68 (Orange). These are perceptual nearest-matches (CIEDE2000), so treat them as a faithful starting point and check a physical shade card for critical work.
