Canyon at High Noon Color Palette
Sandstone browns and rust reds run from near-black shadow up through clay, apricot and pale bleached sand, with dry sage greens and three turquoises pulled from the sky overhead. The dark ends hold lettering and outlines, the sands make easy backgrounds, and the terracotta and turquoise sit together for accents. Good for desert scenes, cactus and pottery motifs, and southwestern quilt or tile patterns.
