Cold Cuts and Chutney Color Palette

A Boxing Day palette: pink ham and salmon tones, pickle and bay greens, mustard and chocolate-coin golds, with slate grays and oatmeal whites for the gray light coming through the window. The browns and near-blacks are deep enough for lettering, and the pale grays make quiet backgrounds for a cluttered table scene. Good for food illustration, recipe cards, and the sleepy end of the holidays.

How to open your file

These are palette files, not documents. Most apps load them from their swatches panel rather than from File, Open.

Procreate .swatches

  1. Download the file on your iPad.
  2. Tap it in Files or in Safari downloads.
  3. Procreate opens and the palette appears at the top of your Palettes list.

Illustrator .ase

  1. Window, then Swatches.
  2. Open the panel menu, the small lines at the top right of the panel.
  3. Open Swatch Library, then Other Library, then pick the .ase.

Opening the file from File, Open will say "unknown format". That is normal for every .ase.

  3. Import Swatches, then pick the .ase.
