A Scandinavian-inspired palette of light tones, soft greys and botanical accents, with HEX codes for your experiments.
The palette
This selection is a creative starting point, not an official colour standard or a single definition of a culture. Traditions and uses vary with place, period and materials.
Ecru
Stone grey
#A8ABA5Sage
#829584Misty blue
#95A9B5Compose with these shades
Use ecru as the base, grey for secondary surfaces and green or blue for a few accents. Wood and textiles add material variety without multiplying colours.
HEX codes describe only the displayed colours. For fabric, paint or ceramics, compare real samples before making a choice.
