The Wine & Vibes Palette - No. 173-175

Indulge your senses with The Wine & Vibes Palette.

This little trio is basically what happens when you want your watercolor to feel like a Friday night. Cozy. Rich. Slightly dramatic. In the best way.

All three shades are granulating, which means they do that satisfying thing where the pigments separate and settle into texture. So even the simplest wash looks like it has depth, mood, and a tiny bit of life experience.

It’s inspired by good wine, warm evenings, and that specific feeling of finally exhaling after a long day.

The colors in the palette:

#175 Chardonnay Mist
A soft, granulating blue with golden undertones, like cool air outside and warm light inside. It has that “blanket on the sofa” mood. The wash shifts between cool and warm, and the granulation gives it a weathered, stony texture that makes backgrounds look instantly interesting, even if you did absolutely nothing special.

#174 Merlot Glow
Deep magenta purple with a rugged, organic texture. This one behaves like crushed berries and stained lips, in watercolor form. It granulates in a way that feels earthy and rich, so it can look elegant, moody, or bold depending on how much water you use. If colors had voices, this one would be low and confident.

#173 Violet Drunk Burgundy
A velvety burgundy with a punch of violet, like the last glass of wine that makes you start telling the truth. It’s intense, lush, and slightly over the top in a very enjoyable way. Perfect for shadows with personality, dramatic florals, and those deep layers that make a painting feel expensive, even if you’re sitting in sweatpants.

This palette is for anyone who wants color that has mood.
And texture.
And a little “main character energy,” without being annoying about it.
