Color isn't decoration. It's the whole mood system.
Every palette on this site is extracted directly from a real painting's pixels, then grouped by movement, mood, and hue — nothing here is guessed or approximated.

Palettes are grouped by movement, by mood, or by dominant hue — Impressionist blues and golds, Post-Impressionist pressure tones, Constructivist reds and blacks. Pick the angle that matches the brief.
Good color references should earn their keep.
Pull a palette straight into brand work, packaging, or an interface — the temperature and contrast logic already did the hard part.
