Sunset Color Palette for Procreate

This color palette includes 23 colors in shades of reds, pinks, oranges, and yellows. I’ve also included dark colors (blues and purples) to use in the foreground or for a night sky.

Tips for Sunsets

Sunsets tend to be lighter at the horizon and get darker higher in the sky.
Colors need to be adjacent on the color wheel. (It’s fine to start with pink, but it needs to fade to a pink-purple before turning a darker purple at the top.)
You can also use a gradient of one color. (Start with pale pink and work your way up to a darker pink. I see this in winter a lot.)
Sunsets generally reflect in whatever is in the foreground, especially water.
I created this sunset using my watercolor brush pack. Using the brushes for blending creates a lovely effect.
