9 editorial color palettes
Looking for an editorial palette? These 9 are hand-picked — restrained, type-led combinations that let headlines carry the page — each with role tokens, AA-checked text contrast, and a one-line note on why it works. Open one in the palette tool to lock what you like and regenerate the rest.
Bookshop
Open in tool →Chestnut and forest on cream read like a cloth-bound spine; the palette recedes so covers and type do the talking.
Tabloid
Open in tool →Red, black and yellow on white is the loudest three-color system in print — use it when headlines are the product.
Gallery
Open in tool →Near-monochrome with one burnt-orange highlight — an art director's default because it never competes with the work.
Magazine Ochre
Open in tool →Ochre and walnut on unbleached stock, with teal as the counterpoint — a features-section palette with some heat in it.
Ink & Paper
Open in tool →Two greys and one ink-blue link color: the palette of a well-set book page.
Darkroom
Open in tool →Sepia, faded ochre and a teal shadow on aged paper — the photograph-in-a-drawer palette, tuned so it still passes AA.
Typewriter
Open in tool →Ink-black and ribbon-red on manila — the correspondence palette; all the vintage comes from the paper colour.
Harbour
Open in tool →Steel blue and haze with a buoy orange on a pale grey — the maritime palette every port town uses for a reason.
Fonts with this mood
