Color Palette: Cheese Board

Samantha Remboldt

This "Cheese Board" palette is a delicious blend of golden yellows, warm browns, and earthy reds, inspired by rustic charcuterie boards, aged cheeses, and handcrafted details. It’s the perfect palette for artisan brands, food businesses, cozy home decor, and vintage-inspired designs. If you're looking for a color scheme that feels inviting, organic, and full of warmth, this is it!

How to Use This Palette:

  • Custard (#ffe5a3) is a soft, creamy neutral—great for backgrounds, typography, or subtle highlights.
  • Sunbeam (#fcdb66) brings a golden glow, perfect for branding accents and product packaging.
  • Amber (#f19a3a) is a rich, deep yellow-orange, ideal for call-to-action elements and bold design highlights.
  • Timber (#a8785d) adds warmth and depth, working well for text, logos, and grounding design elements.
  • Russet (#b36902) is a bold, earthy brown, perfect for adding contrast and richness to the palette.
  • Terracotta (#b6503e) rounds it out with a rustic, warm red, ideal for adding an organic, handcrafted touch.

I'm Obsessed!

I've been a fan of their tools from the beginning, but I've got to say the new Color Palette Pro is the best yet! As a web designer this is the first place I go to take my clients' inspiration and create a palette that's uniquely them, but also meets contrast guidelines. It's so much fun to use I could spend hours just creating amazing palettes. There's so much here, I could go on and on, do yourself a favor and grab this tool!

Hi Megan,

I'm so grateful for your review- thank you! I love your comment about spending hours just playing with the tool- I felt the exact same way when we were working on this new update. I'm glad this makes creating color palettes feel FUN. Thank you!

Fantastic tools, overflowing with value!

Wow! Such fabulous tools! Having watched from the sidelines for a long time, I'm so glad to have finally made the leap and purchased these tools. What a lot of time I've been wasting up until now. Oops! Oh and I love how they all integrate with each other to make processes even easier. Thanks so much Sam and Chris for all the love and effort you put into these. It shows!
