The Sunflower watercolor color palette
This balanced, painterly palette is anchored by Soft Yellow (#C9CD8F), the dominant wash across the sunflower set. Muted Amber and Light Amber carry the midtones, and Deep Taupe (#433126) 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 734 (Olive Green Lt), DMC 726 (Topaz Light), DMC 677 (Old Gold Vy Lt), DMC 741 (Tangerine Med). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic YG93 (Grayish Yellow), Copic YR24 (Pale Sepia), Copic E81 (Ivory), Copic YR16 (Apricot). These are perceptual nearest-matches (CIEDE2000), so treat them as a faithful starting point and check a physical shade card for critical work.
