Tidepool Morning Color Palette
Cool sea greens and slate blues run from a near-black harbor navy up to pale foam and a soft mint white, with wet sand, driftwood and warm clay browns to keep things grounded. The coral and rosewood shades give you somewhere to put a focal point, whether that is lettering, a starfish or a sweater on a beachcombing character. Good for coastal signs, summer scrapbook layers and anything that needs a calm background with one warm accent.
