The Whale Shark watercolor color palette

This balanced, painterly palette is anchored by Deep Sky (#2C567B), the dominant wash across the whale shark set. Cyan and Light Sky carry the midtones, and Deep Blue (#062149) 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 803 (Baby Blue Ult Vy Dk), DMC 518 (Wedgewood Light), DMC 825 (Blue Dark), DMC 820 (Royal Blue Very Dark). For marker and Copic work, reach for Copic B99 (Agate), Copic B97 (Night Blue), Copic BV29 (Slate), Copic T-0 (Toner Gray No.0). 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 sky-800, cyan-600, sky-700, slate-800, mist-100 — or copy the raw HEX, RGB and HSL above, or grab the ready-made CSS custom properties from the sidebar. For accessibility, Light Mist on Deep Blue reaches 13.6:1, comfortably passing WCAG AA for body text.
