March Thaw Color Palette

Thirty colors for the turn from winter to spring: mossy pine and new-shoot greens, cold sky and slate blues, damp bark browns, and a run of muddy plum to soft blush for early crocus. The creams at the end make good backgrounds for lettering, and the greens layer well for garden and rain-shower illustrations.

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.

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