January Blue Color Palette
Cold window-light blues from near-navy through pale ice, softened with gray-greens, warm taupes and cream. A little brick red and old gold give you somewhere to put a cardinal, a mitten or a bit of lettering. Good for snow scenes, new year planner pages and quiet winter backgrounds.
