Color guide
This visual color guide is designed for QGIS users who want to create maps that feel cohesive, intentional, and polished without spending hours experimenting with color combinations.
Inside, you’ll find a curated collection of map color palettes shown at multiple scales, so you can see how each combination works across a full map and in closer detail. Each palette includes HEX color codes for easy reference and styling inspiration you can adapt to your own QGIS projects.
From soft neutrals and monochromatic blues to earthy greens, bold magentas, and unexpected color combinations, this guide explores different ways to create contrast, hierarchy, and visual consistency through color.
Why download it?
→ Skip the color guesswork: Start with curated color combinations instead of testing endless options from scratch.

What it includes:
