Winter Color Palettes

Share the goods.

Winter color palettes with a cabin in the woods on the right. In the middle there is a picture of brown, blue, and navy blue mixed together. On the left there is a picture of the mountain with a pastel pink sky in the background.

We love doing color palette blogs, and you guys eat ‘em up like candy. As far as we’re concerned, it’s a win-win. Anyway, we know you’re not really reading this part. You’re going to skim this intro and then go scroll down to see all the pretty colors, right? So let’s not drag our feet anymore. It’s time for winter color!

The holidays are gone. It’s time to throw out all the green and red and silver and gold. Let’s get pretty in pastels! This sunset on a snowy mountain just screams winter, doesn’t it? Break out these colors the next time you need to make a social media graphic or an event invite. This palette is soft and professional. We recommend theme an entire event in these colors. Contact our friends at www.alpineevents.com they can help you out.

Sometimes you can draw inspiration from abstract images, and this one really captured our eye. The red and blues really play up the fire and ice feel, and they’re wonderful for the dead of winter and when it starts to thaw. Mix in this color palette to create eye-catching graphics for signs, social media images, promo items or even direct mailers. Did we mention that classic blue is the color of the year? Here’s an excuse to use it.

It’s time to enjoy the cold while getting comfy at home. We love this winter cabin theme, complete with snow-dusted trees and the warmth from the cabin. Evoke the same idea with gray, desaturated browns, and a deep teal. This palette is wonderful for formal invitations, website color palettes, and client gifts. The cool colors evoke winter while the warmth promises the spring that’s just around the corner. All in all, we’re in love with this one.

Can’t get enough? Check out our fall and summer palettes. We even have winter colors from last year, if you need more chill. Check all of those out, and then get in touch with us. We’ll help you fine a color palette that’s perfect for you, all year round.

FUN FACT FRIDAY: It’s only fitting for us to own a building where a trailblazing female operated her businesses in 1906. The Phillips family represented one of the longest-running retail tenures in Grand Rapids history; L.E. Phillips Jewelry in the 1365 Plainfield Ave. building from 1906 until 1973.
Dr. Eva Phillips, a certified and licensed optometrist ran her practice out of the jewelry store’s secondary parlor and was an equal partner in the jewelry store.

Together, they offered a unique one-stop shot which expanded to include appliances, record players, and more. The couple operated the shop through two World Wars and the Great Depression, acting as the neighborhood matriarch and patriarch.

National Perimenopause Month starts today. We have a LOT to say, and we’re not going to be quiet about it, especially this month, so buckle up.

We were not prepared for perimenopause, much like our periods, sex, or anything else to do with our bodies. God forbid we talk about it openly.

We were taught to be ashamed, keep quiet, and to accept that it is just part of being a woman. We reject that narrative. In fact, like @bodespeaks, we want to bring it up in every conversation.

When we normalize perimenopause and the conversation around it, we stop isolating, and we’re all more prepared.
Join us for Uncomfortable Conversations: The Pause on September 24th — a powerful conversation hosted alongside the @smallbusinessassocofmichigan
Women’s Business Council, featuring some kicka$$ experts who will give you the real talk on perimenopause (more to come on them later).
