a grapefruit-cocktail-inspired color palette

Written By Nikki Mihalik

I’m allergic to alcohol. (YES. It sucks.) But that doesn’t stop me from salivating over all of the delicious summer cocktail recipes put forth by bloggers. This beauty, created by Hedonistit, highlights ginger, grapefruit, and rosemary. Yum…ginger and grapefruit sounds so refreshing!

Join me for the next month as I share a new gin recipe and color palette each week! (P.S. If muted colors aren’t your thing, stay tuned for next week…it’s a very similar peachy palette, only brighter!)

GRAPEFRUIT #E28E72 / LIGHT GRAPEFRUIT #EFC5B7 / ROSEY TAUPE #E6D9D3

LIGHT OLIVE GREEN #7C7764 / DARK OLIVE #4F5143

WHAT ARE THESE COLOR CODES? The “hex codes” above are provided as a courtesy for those customizing website colors or looking for general color inspiration. They are not based on paint or Pantone chips. Remember that ink on paper will never look the same as light on a screen. If you like a combination you see, we recommend saving the image and heading to your local hardware store to find paint chips that match. Digital colors will change depending on your phone/tablet/computer screen, so be sure to color match with real swatches. Also, I make up all the color names.

Happy Friday + Happy Summer!
