A gradient set featuring 20 colorful color schemes, with an emphasis on setting a dreamy, fantastic mood. Vivid colors are tempered with touches of gray to give them a sense of balance.



This set features 20 gradients. Like most gradient sets, it's probably best used in conjunction with blending modes at a lowered opacity. However, I've included example drawings tone-adjusted straight from grayscale so you can see what the colors look like without any editing. Let's get into it!

Seashells:


This is a cute color scheme given some vibrancy with the use of deep teals and bright, summery pink and orange.

Vanish:


This is an intentionally subtle color scheme that emphasizes the midtones, giving the impression that the image is vanishing at the edges.

Soap Bubble: 


This rainbow of colors cools down shadows while warming highlights, creating a reflective, bubble-like appearance by throwing a warm magenta into the low end of the midtone.

Infatuation:


This warm color scheme lowers the overall contrast of the image. Volume is defined with bright pinks and subtle purples, offset by yellow highlights.

Perfume:


This is infatuation's grown-up relative. Gray softens the deepest shadows and deep purples give way to warm pinks and lavender.

Cosmology:


This is an intense color scheme that uses mainly deep blues offset by a warm magenta and bright yellow.

Going Under:


These muted colors set teal against a subtle red, creating a lot of contrast and emphasizing highlights.

The City:


These colors are a dramatic combination of the primary colors, with some warmth thrown into the yellow to set it off against the bright blues.

Vast Stars:


This blue set trends dark and makes highlights pop into a clear, bright white. Very high contrast.

Lonelier:


This soft color scheme is shades of gray with a deep blue midtone, set off by a subtle gray at the lowest end.

Ravine:


This is another soft set, combining subtle earth tones with a sky blue at the top end.

Ocean Storm:


Another dark set, these colors combine dark greens and deep blues until the highlights take a sudden turn toward gray and off-white.

Moment's Hesitation:


This cool, airy color scheme brightens the midtones and adds a lot of color at the top end.

Thin Air:


Cool teal dominates this color scheme, set off by analogous green and contrasting blue shadows. A touch of yellow warms the highlights to give them more contrast.

Dusk:


This warm color scheme brightens the midtones with a combination of magenta and deep orange gently giving way to a light tan.

Waking:


This temperamental gray color scheme adds a touch of deep red at the deepest shadows and a tight splash of pale blue and yellow at the top end to create an intense division between the shadows and highlights.

The End:


Ironically, not the end! This color scheme is almost entirely gray, with a lot of brightening at the low end contrasted by a very deep, dark brown to give the image a subtle richness.

Mirage:


Another summery color scheme, this set is fairly dark with a lot of emphasis given to the top end where warm reds slide into an intense yellow.

Underground:


This earthy color scheme combines brown and and gray with a vivid orange at the middle, emphasizing midtones.

Years of Study:


Dark green is contrasted by purple shadows and set off by yellow-gold highlights. Pale highlights balance out the richness of the darker colors.

-----------
Phew, that's everything from me! I hope you enjoy these colors as much as I enjoyed putting them together :)
