Peak District Colour Palette
The colours of the Peak District in late summer: heather purple blanketing the moors, millstone grit edges catching the light, dry stone walls threading through green valleys, and the grey of an overcast sky that could break into sunshine at any moment. This is a palette with real texture and depth. For outdoor brands, heritage tourism, walking guides, country pubs, and anything that wants to feel like standing on Kinder Scout with the wind in your face.

Usage guidance
Heather purple is your primary, distinctive and natural, use it for headers, primary buttons, and hero sections. Millstone Grit provides a warm, textured neutral for secondary elements, cards, and borders. Dry Stone Wall grey works for supporting text and subtle backgrounds. Moorland Green adds life for success states, tags, and nature-related accents. Overcast Sky is your background, soft and atmospheric. This palette works best with generous spacing and natural imagery.
