Northern Forest

Check these colors together: contrast, harmony, color-blind view →Tap a color to copy its HEX

Northern boreal forests have a distinctive color palette different from tropical or temperate green: the blue-green of spruce and fir, the pale silver-white of birch bark, the golden amber of resin and autumn needles, and the cold clear blue of winter sky above the canopy. This palette is quieter and cooler than typical 'forest' palettes.

February in a Finnish forest. The spruce trees are almost black against the snow. One shaft of afternoon light hits a birch trunk. The sky above is the blue that only exists in winter at latitude 63.
