The Tulip watercolor color palette

This soft, airy palette is anchored by Lime (#C3CF88), the dominant wash across the tulip set. Pale Amber and Light Orange carry the midtones, and Deep Orange (#FA714E) 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 471 (Avocado Grn V Lt), DMC 746 (Off White), DMC 3047 (Yellow Beige Lt), DMC 989 (Forest Green). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic YG06 (Yellowish Green), Copic Y000 (Pale Lemon), Copic Y32 (Cashmere), Copic G94 (Grayish Olive). 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 lime-200, amber-50, orange-100, olive-400, yellow-100 — or copy the raw HEX, RGB and HSL above, or grab the ready-made CSS custom properties from the sidebar. For accessibility, Pale Amber on Deep Orange reaches 2.6:1, best reserved for large text or decorative use.
