Harvest Kitchen Colour Palette

An editorial palette inspired by a well-used 1970s kitchen at harvest time: mellow cream, baked terracotta, muted olive, ripe pumpkin, and deep umber create a homely atmosphere with enough contrast for clear modern layouts.

Colour codes

  • Oatmeal Tile #F1E6CC background
  • Earthenware Red #9B422F primary
  • Leafy Olive #707449 secondary
  • Pumpkin Skin #D98235 accent
  • Cask Umber #3B2922 text

Usage guidance

Use Oatmeal Tile as the main background, with Cask Umber for body text and strong contrast. Set Earthenware Red as the primary structural colour for headers, navigation, and key panels, Leafy Olive as the secondary for supporting surfaces or controls, and Pumpkin Skin sparingly as the accent for calls to action and active states. Keep generous light space around warmer tones so the palette feels editorial rather than novelty themed.
