April means blooming gardens, lilacs and longer days. Pastels look natural now, especially when grounded with greenery and a deeper accent. Expect showers, and choose a palette that works both outdoors and inside.
Tap a color to copy its HEX code. The pencil opens the palette in the editor.
Dusty blue, blush, lilac, sage, peach and mint are the most popular April colors. They echo spring gardens and pair easily with ivory.
Tulips, ranunculus, sweet peas, lilac, anemones and hyacinths are in season. Early peonies appear in the South by late April.
Not when they're muted. Dusty, slightly grayed pastels with a deeper accent look current, while very bright candy pastels can feel dated.
