The Streetwear color palette
Asphalt, concrete, signal, cobalt, and volt. A Streetwear palette with one bright color and no logo wall.
Grey ground, one signal
The Streetwear palette is Asphalt, Concrete, Signal, Cobalt, and Volt. People search it when an oversized fit and a sneaker matter more than a candy color or a tailored coat.
Asphalt and Concrete are the hoodie, the trouser, the wall. One of the three brights is the accent.
How the brights differ
Signal is the warm orange-red. Cobalt is the clear blue. Volt is the sharp yellow-green. They do not mix evenly. Pick the one that matches the shoe or the bag and repeat it once.
A second bright on a sock is enough. A third bright starts to look like Y2K.
The Y2K cousin
Y2K uses Hot pink, Mint, and Lilac on a lighter ground. Streetwear keeps the graphic habit and drops the gloss.
If your pictures are shiny and pastel, use the Y2K palette. If they are oversized and asphalt, stay here.
