The words in pictures 72 words illustrated
Era & aesthetic palettes 17
Time-and-place color schemes. Prompt them as “covered in [name] colors”. Each carries mood, materials, and era bias together.
Nature & season palettes 8
Landscape and season schemes. The fastest way to set time of year without describing the weather.
Color-theory palettes 22
Schemes from the color wheel. These control contrast and harmony instead of mood. Combine one with an era palette above.
Unique colors: the named 25 25
Single colors the models know by name. One of these beats “bluish-green” every time.
