Portrait of the brand identity and packaging designer behind the 365 Cultural Color Palettes archive.

Built from professional design experience

Created by Mariya Vasileva, a brand identity and packaging designer with more than 10 years of experience across 360+ projects.

​

These are not random colors extracted from travel photographs. Each palette is developed as a usable four-color direction with contrast, supporting tones, visual range, and practical reference values that can be adapted for real creative work.

How to use the palettes

Use the archive as a starting point for visual research, moodboards, creative direction, packaging concepts, content systems, interiors, brand identity, digital products, and campaign visuals.

​

Study the color relationships, then adapt each direction to the context, material, audience, contrast requirements, and production method of your project.

​

For professional branding and packaging work, always test color across typography, accessibility, materials, screens, photography, and final print conditions.
