Desert color palettes

Desert sands pair with adobe clay, sage, and one turquoise accent, the Southwest formula.

Desert palettes borrow their logic from a familiar reference, which gives your work instant recognition. Every scheme on this page keeps that reference clear while staying usable in real layouts.

A strong example from this page is Mesa noon: #e4ceb9, #d89c71, #c7673e, #8d4238, #52452a. It works immediately for layouts, and you can open it in the generator to get RGB, HSL, CMYK, and Pantone values.
