Decade Print Series Palettes
About
Twelve colour palettes, one for every era of twentieth century print. Sampled from real printed matter, from 1920s letterpress and 1930s WPA posters through to 1980s photocopy flyers and 1990s skate graphics, so each palette carries the ink, paper and print process of its decade rather than a generic retro look.
Every palette is built the same way. Paper stock first, then seven inks light to dark, an accent, and the right black for the era. That means you always know where you are, and the palettes work as a set: pick a decade and stay inside it, or borrow an accent from another to push a piece somewhere new.
They're made for layering. Set your inks to multiply and overlap two colours from the same palette for a true overprint tone, the way ink behaves on a press. Run any single ink through a halftone or grain brush and you get a full tonal range from one colour, so your blends stay clean.
