5 vintage color palettes
Looking for a vintage palette? These 5 are hand-picked — sepia, faded ochre and washed teal on aged paper, desaturated until it feels found rather than designed — 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.
Mid-Century
Open in tool →Tangerine, teal and mustard on cream — the 1960s lounge trio, one of the few retro palettes with real hue contrast.
Polaroid
Open in tool →Washed coral, faded aqua and a mustard — the 1970s film look, desaturated so it feels found rather than designed.
Typewriter
Open in tool →Ink-black and ribbon-red on manila — the correspondence palette; all the vintage comes from the paper colour.
Sepia Mono
Open in tool →A single warm brown from espresso to oat — the sepia scale as a working palette, not a filter.
mcpConnect your agent — vintage palettes on demand
live endpointPoint any MCP client at the shared colors endpoint and your agent gets the same engine as this page — direct_palette, edit_direction, check_palette, check_contrast — read-only, no key. Every direction it proposes comes with a /colors/d/… link: open it, lock what you like, paste the link back, and the agent edits rather than re-rolls.
