Art Deco Color Palettes

Art Deco colour pairs jade and onyx with metallic gold in the strict geometry of the 1920s. Complementary cool green against warm gold, held at disciplined values, reads as luxury architecture rather than craft pastel. Its main colours include periwinkle (#beb5e8), flax (#e0e19b), amethyst (#7d88cb), verdigris (#4cc0a6), chestnut (#8f3b4e), built as a complementary set around 170° on the colour wheel.

About art deco color palettes

These 24 Art Deco palettes sit near 170° with mid saturation and a low-to-mid lightness range so onyx stays deep and gold stays jewelled.

They suit hospitality, fashion packaging, event branding and any identity that wants Jazz Age precision.

Use onyx or deep teal for large fields, jade for secondary panels, and gold only on thin rules, monograms and buttons. Soften nothing into mint or champagne beige if you want the 1920s edge to survive.

Art Deco color palette FAQ

What colours define Art Deco palettes?

Jade, onyx and gold such as periwinkle (#beb5e8), flax (#e0e19b), amethyst (#7d88cb), often locked in complementary cool-warm pairs. Geometry and metallic accents matter as much as the hues themselves.

Which hex codes capture Art Deco style?

Main codes include #beb5e8, #e0e19b, #7d88cb, #4cc0a6, #8f3b4e, #25685f, #38151d, #122b27, centred near #41af9d. Keep gold darker than lemon so it reads as metal leaf, not highlighter.

How should I use Art Deco colour in modern branding?

Limit gold to 10% of the surface, let deep teal or black carry the brand field, and echo stepped or fan motifs in layout rather than adding more hues.
