ColorVibe - A Free Color System for Everyone
Background Story (if you haven't read it before)
I am obsessed not with many things but one thing: Colors. As a professional creator, investing in a full-scale color system to collaborate more efficiently is often the only choice. But for most creators, investing in a color system is not affordable.
Similar to the printing industry, Pantone is the most widely used color standard in the fashion industry. A few years ago, I invested in their complete stack (fashion), which cost me around three thousand dollars (yep, you heard right). When I shifted my work exclusively to the digital space, it felt pretty wasteful that I had spent that money. It made me think about how I could offer something similar to my fellow digital creators, and I came up with ColorVibe.
Every color for the ColorVibe system consists of a mintable swatch via Unlock Protocol contracts and of course a dedicated color story that I am publishing on this blog for those interested.
While I know a color system needs much more than what I currently do with ColorVibe, I hope it will become more widely used in the digital creative space, and we can grow it together.
Isabelline - Story
Isabelline is a subtle hue blending pale grey-yellow, cream-brown, and parchment tones. This delicate color derives its name from uncertain origins, with various legends attempting to explain its etymology.
In nature, isabelline is prominently featured in animal coat colorations, particularly in bird plumage and European horse coats. It's used to name several bird species and describe a genetic pigmentation disorder in birds called isabellinism. In the equestrian world, it refers to very pale palomino or cremello horses.
Isabelline's elegant subtlety has captured the imagination of authors like Rudyard Kipling (in his novel "Kim," he described a young Hindu as wearing Isabella-colored clothes) and found applications in fashion and interior design. Its sophisticated neutrality offers a unique alternative to more common pale tones, making it an intriguing choice for various artistic and design purposes.
