12 Japandi Colour Palettes — Free to Download

Not just swatches. Each palette has five named roles: base, secondary, natural material, accent, and grounding dark — with hex codes and notes on where to use each colour in a room.

The accent colour is always a genuinely different hue. That’s what makes a Japandi palette work.

What’s inside the guide

  • 12 complete Japandi palettes — Classic, Dark, Wabi-Sabi, Coastal, Forest, Autumn, Spring, Clay & Indigo, Stone & Ember, Midnight, Sand & Smoke, and Zen Garden
  • Every palette structured across five colour roles with hex codes
  • A guide to the 60–30–10 rule and how it applies to Japandi specifically
  • Notes on why the accent colour is the most important decision in any calm interior

How to use it

Choose the palette that matches the mood you want the room to hold. Use the lightest tone on your walls and large surfaces. Bring in the accent through ceramics, cushions, art, or plants — not all at once, just one or two pieces. The grounding dark goes on frames, lamp bases, and furniture edges.
