Even in the realm of Cricut crafting, color-picking is one of the key steps to achieving beautiful craft. This is especially true for layered designs, be it paper cutting or vinyl cutting.
As designers, having robust color palettes can help in the overall progress of designing a craft. Integrating color palettes can cut working time, set a theme, and is a quick check of coherence and harmony of each element.
Even if limitations of materials can make the end-product not become as similar as what designers had in mind, color palette is still an important guide for crafters to execute the designs.
You can read the basics of creating Proceate palettes here on their official website.
In this article, I’m going to show you some of the color palettes used in our crafts. Numerous designs we make on DrizyStudio.com will be included as examples to help with the imagery.
I’ll be including the HEX codes of each color so you can input the hexadecimal value when making a Procreate palette.

Associated with creativity and excitement, orange is lending its power of increasing energy. Being inviting and friendly, it can be smoothly included in children-oriented arts.
As shown in these Castle Multilayer Fantasy Shadow Box. There’s no denying that it’s the “main attraction” even though it’s placed in the background. Pick up other strong colors that compliment its energy for there is no subduing the orange!
