The Morel watercolor color palette

This balanced, painterly palette is anchored by Light Orange (#E2C9A9), the dominant wash across the morel set. Light Yellow and Pale Olive carry the midtones, and Deep Taupe (#1C0C05) 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 613 (Drab Brown V Lt), DMC 434 (Brown Light), DMC 3024 (Brown Gray Vy Lt), DMC 437 (Tan Light). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic E33 (Sand), Copic E97 (Deep Orange), Copic T-1 (Toner Gray No.1), Copic E25 (Caribe Cocoa). 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 orange-200, yellow-800, olive-100, orange-300, yellow-950 — or copy the raw HEX, RGB and HSL above, or grab the ready-made CSS custom properties from the sidebar. For accessibility, Pale Olive on Deep Taupe reaches 16.4:1, comfortably passing WCAG AA for body text.
