Two foreground colors
Two-color illustration example
A short palette works best with a simple composition. Two foreground colors guide this mountain scene, with a separate pale color for the background.

Two colors. A few good shapes.
A chapter divider, an abstract social graphic or a compact presentation illustration.
- 01
Use two foreground HEX values and leave the optional color fields empty.
- 02
Name the shapes you need, then remove small details from the brief. Large shapes make the limited palette easier to read.
- 03
Check the exported image before using it in print. Two palette inputs do not guarantee an exactly two-ink or indexed-color file.
What to check in your result
The outer background was adjusted to the selected pale color. Two main mountain shapes and the round sun are visible, with an extra orange wave. The orange remains brighter than the requested terracotta, so this is not an exact two-ink or indexed-color file.
