Back-to-School Color Palette Inspired by School Supplies
Whether you’re decorating your planner, designing classroom decor, or just looking for a little nostalgic inspiration, this back-to-school color palette brings all the cozy classroom vibes! I took inspiration from everyday school supplies; think pencils, paper, erasers, and binders, and turned them into a color story that’s both playful and practical.
Back-To-School Color Palette
Let’s break it down:
- 🗒️ Fresh Paper (#FFFCFD): Clean, bright, and full of possibilities, just like the first page of your new notebook.
-
💕 Eraser Pink (#F4B8B8): Soft and sweet, this shade reminds me of the classic pink erasers we all had tucked into our pencil pouches.
-
✏️ No. 2 Pencil (#EAB96B): A warm golden yellow that instantly brings to mind sharpened pencils and standardized tests (but in a good way).
-
🖊️ Teacher’s Pen (#F8817B): A bold coral red, perfect for grading papers or making your designs pop, just like a red teacher pen.
-
🥣 Cafeteria Tray (#97CCCE): Soft, calming, and fresh, this one feels like the color of lined paper or a favorite composition book.
-
📚 Locker Blue (#4E88C3): Strong, structured, and dependable, this cool-toned blue reminds me of the plastic binders that kept our chaos organized.
These colors work beautifully together for digital designs, printable back-to-school labels, planner stickers, or even a classroom bulletin board refresh. If you’re a fellow designer or teacher looking for color inspiration, feel free to pin this palette for later!
