Find the right palette without searching through hundreds of saved images

Duplicate the database into your own Notion workspace, save useful references and return to the right direction whenever a new project needs it.
Built as usable color directions, not automatically sampled from photographs
Created by Mariya Vasileva, an independent brand identity and packaging designer with more than a decade of international experience.
These are not automatically extracted colors or random selections from travel photographs. Each palette is developed as a deliberate four-color direction, with purposeful contrast, supporting tones, visual range and practical reference values for creative work.
Use the archive as direction, not prescription
Use the systems as starting points for visual research, moodboards, creative direction, packaging concepts, content systems, interiors, brand identity, digital products and campaigns.
Adapt each direction to the context, audience, contrast requirements, materials and production method of your project.
For professional branding and packaging work, always test color across typography, accessibility, screens, photography, materials and final print conditions.
Created for
Designers, brand builders, packaging teams, creative directors, interior designers and visual researchers who need stronger color direction than a folder of disconnected inspiration.
License
For personal and commercial design use.

You may not resell, redistribute, share, repackage, upload, publish or present the PDF, database, palette collection, written color names and descriptions, or original visual layouts as your own product or resource.

The palettes are culturally inspired visual references. They are not official cultural, national, historical or institutional color standards.
