These are the exact palettes inside the generator, grouped by season. Each one has five colors, listed left to right in the same order the tool shows them. Use the generator above to copy a single code with one tap.
Soft pastels next to two darker sets: a navy and red Modern, and a brick and caramel Rustic.
The boldest season in the tool: terracotta and teal, navy with orange, and a black and gold Modern.
Burgundy, forest and olive greens, slate blues and a full run of browns.
Navy and ice blue, sage to charcoal greens, and an almost black Modern with deep reds.
Screen colors vary by device and brightness. Treat the codes as a starting point and confirm with printed or fabric samples. For 30 more fall-only palettes, see fall wedding color palettes.
The Knot asked nearly 17,000 newlyweds which colors they used for their wedding. White came first, but greens took two of the top six spots. Here is the share of couples who used each color in some way, from the 2025 Real Weddings Study.
84% of Gen Z couples and 79% of millennials said they targeted specific wedding colors.
View The Knot study write-upLight green (33%) and dark green (27%) both made the list. In the tool, greens lead Spring Boho, Summer Rustic, Fall Boho and Winter Rustic.
White works as the neutral most palettes sit on. The tool leaves room for it: pair any palette with white or ivory linens.

Closest in the tool: Fall Classic, Winter ModernNamed by The Knot as red's partner: the two often anchor the same palette.
Closest in the tool: Winter ClassicPulled in by fine art inspired weddings and often paired with green.
Closest in the tool: Fall RomanticA sharp yellow green that sits next to burgundy or plum.
Closest in the tool: Fall BohoBlush and pale petal pinks move to a supporting role instead of the lead.
Closest in the tool: Summer RomanticMore than one bold showpiece color in one palette, such as red with orange or fuchsia.
Closest in the tool: Summer ClassicMature, refined palettes that lean on texture, linens and natural materials.
Closest in the tool: Fall ModernThe Knot's internal data for 2027 weddings, the reason plum and old-world tones are back.
From The Knot's search data, mostly strong primaries paired with one soft color.
Pantone calls it "a lofty white" and "a billowy white imbued with serenity". For a wedding it is a soft base, not a feature color.

Five swatches is a menu, not an order. Most good wedding palettes use one main color, one support color and one accent, sitting on a neutral like white, ivory or a metal.
Walls, floors, carpet and the view are colors you cannot change. Note them before you fall for a palette.
A June garden at noon and a December ballroom by candlelight make the same pink look like two colors.

Five swatches are a menu. Most weddings use two or three of them plus white, ivory or a metal.
Ask your florist and stationer for physical samples before you order anything in bulk.
The color guests see first: linens, the bridesmaid dresses, the invitation paper or the flowers.
The supporting color in florals, napkins, groomsmen ties and signage.
The small hits: ribbon, wax seals, candles, a cake detail, the boutonniere.
The rule comes from interior design: about two thirds one color, one third a second color and 10% an offset, as designers explain in Apartment Therapy. Treat the numbers as a guide, not math.
Emily Summer, a wedding planner and bridal boutique owner, walks through how to choose a wedding theme and color palette that fit you instead of a Pinterest board. Watch it before you tap through the vibes in the tool.
Watch on YouTube (10 min)Color schemes are ways of combining colors on the color wheel. Knowing which one you like helps you brief vendors in one sentence. Every example below is a palette from the generator.
One color in light to dark steps. Calm and hard to get wrong, but add texture so it does not look flat.
In the tool: Fall Rustic: five browns from espresso to sandNeighbors on the color wheel, like pink, coral and peach. Soft and romantic, and easy for florists to match.
In the tool: Summer Romantic: mauve, rose, coral and peachOpposites on the wheel, like navy and orange. High contrast that reads well in photos from across the room.
In the tool: Summer Classic: navy with orange and goldBlack, white or grey with a single bright color doing all the work. Modern and very easy to brief.
In the tool: Summer Modern: black, navy and greys with one goldSeveral strong colors at once, the punctuated primaries trend. Needs one planner or florist to hold it together.
In the tool: Summer Boho: orange, terracotta, teal and mustardThe venue is already part of your palette. Wood, carpet, stone and greenery stay in every photo, so work with them. This table is our planning guide, not survey data.
| Venue | Already there | Colors that work | Try in the tool |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden or park | Green everywhere, changing daylight | Pastels, blush, white and sage. Greens in your palette blend into the setting | Spring Boho, Spring Classic |
| Barn or farm | Warm wood, beams, string lights | Earth tones, rust, olive, cream. Cold blues can look grey against wood | Fall Rustic, Spring Rustic |
| Ballroom or hotel | Patterned carpet, gold or neutral walls | Deep jewel tones, navy, burgundy, gold. Check the carpet before you pick a red | Fall Classic, Winter Romantic |
| Beach or waterfront | Sand, blue water, strong sun | Coral, teal, sand and white. Very pale colors wash out in bright sun | Summer Boho, Summer Romantic |
| City loft or industrial | Brick, concrete, black steel | Black and white with one strong accent, or deep greens | Summer Modern, Winter Rustic |
| Church or historic building | Dark wood, stained glass, stone | Ivory, gold and one deep color. Bright pastels compete with stained glass | Winter Classic, Fall Romantic |
| Vineyard or winery | Vines, barrels, golden hour light | Wine, plum, olive and blush, the plum and green pairing The Knot flags for 2027 | Winter Romantic, Fall Boho |

A hex code describes a color on a screen. Paper, fabric, flowers and frosting all show color in their own way, so each vendor needs something slightly different from you.
| Vendor | What to send | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Florist | Hex codes plus two or three photos of flowers you like in those colors | Flowers are never an exact hex match. Ask which blooms are in season in your colors |
| Stationer | Hex codes and which color is the paper, which is the ink | Print uses CMYK inks, so screen colors shift. Ask for a printed proof before the full run |
| Linens and rentals | Your main and second color, plus the venue's table count | Rental companies sell named fabric colors. Request physical swatches, not photos |
| Bridesmaid dresses | The designer's color names closest to your swatches | Order the brand's fabric swatch card. The same name differs between brands |
| Baker | Your accent color and a photo of the flowers | Deep colors in buttercream or fondant need a lot of dye. Ask what is realistic |
| Lighting or DJ uplighting | One or two colors from the palette, not all five | Colored uplights tint everything in the room, including skin in photos |
| Photographer | The palette and your venue, so they can plan backdrops | Ask how they edit. A warm or pastel editing style changes how your colors look |
Six characters like #2A9D8F. This is what the generator copies. Use it for your wedding website, digital invitations and as the reference in every message.
Printers convert to ink. Some colors, especially bright greens and blues, cannot be printed exactly. A printed proof shows you the real result.
Pantone codes like 11-4201 and named fabric colors are what dress and linen suppliers match against. Ask for their swatch, then compare it to your hex on screen.

Okay so i'll try to keep this short but i probably wont. We planned this thing for almost two years and i was the person with a spreadsheet for every single vendor, and photos were the one part i had no plan for. Our photographer was booked for 8 hours which sounds like plenty until you realize getting ready and the after party arent in there. My maid of honor found Pix on tiktok i think. We put codes on the tables and also on the bathroom mirrors which sounds weird but that is where half the best photos came from. Anyway the point is i thought this would be a nice extra and it turned out to be the thing my mom and i look at the most. My husband says im obsessed. i am
Solid product. A few of our older relatives needed the QR code explained but once they got it they were the most active uploaders. Support answered my question the same afternoon
Second line parade through the French Quarter, guests with their phones out the entire time. Pix caught every angle of that walk, videos from the front, middle and back. No way to recreate that any other way
What couples ask while picking colors: how the generator works, how many colors to use, what is popular and trending, and how to brief vendors.
Pick a season (Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter) and a vibe (Boho, Classic, Modern, Rustic or Romantic). The tool shows a curated five-color palette for that pair, 20 palettes in total. Tap any swatch to copy its hex code, or use the form under the palette to email yourself all five codes. It is free and needs no sign-up.
Most weddings work with two or three main colors plus one neutral such as white, ivory or a metal. A common way to split them is the 60-30-10 rule from interior design: about 60% main color, 30% second color and 10% accent. The generator gives five swatches so you can choose your three from them.
In The Knot 2025 Real Weddings Study of nearly 17,000 newlyweds, white was used by 41% of couples, gold by 36%, light green by 33%, ivory or champagne by 32%, light pink by 29%, dark green by 27%, light blue by 26% and dark blue by 24%. The same study found 80% of couples chose their wedding colors on purpose.
The Knot's 2027 wedding color trends list deep reds, powder or French blue, plum, wasabi green, muted pink accents, palettes with more than one bold primary color, and mature creams with deep blues. Pantone's Color of the Year 2026 is PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, a soft white.
Send hex codes to anyone working on screens or print, such as your stationer and website, and ask for a printed proof because print colors shift. For florists, add photos of flowers you like. For linens and bridesmaid dresses, ask for physical fabric swatches, since those vendors work from named fabric colors rather than hex codes.
Not inside the tool. The 20 palettes are fixed. Copy the hex codes you like, mix swatches from two palettes, or adjust a code in any design app. Many couples take three swatches from one palette and a neutral from another.
Start with what the venue already has: wood, carpet, stone, greenery or water. Warm wood suits earth tones, a green garden suits pastels and sage, and a patterned ballroom carpet narrows your reds and pinks. The venue table on this page maps seven venue types to palettes in the tool.
Yes. All 20 palettes, hex code copying and the email option are free, with no account. Pix Wedding makes a QR code photo sharing app for weddings, which has a free plan and paid one-time plans, but you do not need it to use the palette tool.
