The Peony watercolor color palette
This soft, airy palette is anchored by Pale Yellow (#EBE7CF), the dominant wash across the peony set. Light Rose and Deep Red carry the midtones, and Pink (#D82272) 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 677 (Old Gold Vy Lt), DMC 151 (Dusty Rose Vry Lt), DMC 3326 (Rose Light), DMC 3866 (Mocha Brn Ult Vy Lt). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic E30 (Bisque), Copic RV02 (Sugared Almond Pink), Copic RV34 (Dark Pink), Copic E0000 (Floral White). These are perceptual nearest-matches (CIEDE2000), so treat them as a faithful starting point and check a physical shade card for critical work.
