Color Palette: Vintage Library

Color Palette: Vintage Library

Samantha Remboldt

Classic, rich, and full of character, the Vintage Library color palette is a tribute to timeless elegance and scholarly charm. Inspired by aged parchment, worn leather bindings, and the deep hues of antique wood, this palette is perfect for brands that want to evoke nostalgia, sophistication, and history. Whether you’re designing for a bookstore, an academic institution, or a heritage brand, Vintage Library brings a sense of depth and authenticity to your work.

Parchment and Leather provide a soft, neutral foundation reminiscent of aged paper and well-loved books. Oak and Manuscript introduce warm, earthy tones with a hint of deep forest green for contrast. Binding and Crimson add richness and depth, grounding the palette with dramatic, moody hues. This palette is ideal for creating a refined, intellectual aesthetic while maintaining warmth and approachability. If you're looking to infuse your designs with timeless sophistication, Vintage Library is your perfect match.

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,

Such a time saver!

This tool makes it so easy to add your colors, name them, check for color contrast, and then export the palette + approved color pairings in a cute little PDF. I used to do all of that manually and it was a major time-suck! Love this tool.
