I’ve seen Catppuccin brought up a few times, but people have reservations about the complexity (the pallettes include a lot more colors than we probably need) and with using a preexisting and commonly used pallette for branding.
What if we created a derivative color scheme based on a Catppuccin variant? Catppuccin already includes helpful style guides for how to best use the pallettes, so we’d have a pretty good base if we reduced one of the pallettes and modified the colors to our liking.
Hypothetically, and depending how drastically we change the original pallette, this would leave us with a Catppuccinesque–yet unique color scheme and associated style guide.
Here’s what I came up with from trying this. I opted to ease up on the pastels and go for some louder colors as well as a darker and more de saturated background.
The original Catppuccin palette
Dark
Light (just swapped the text and background colors)
You can see some of these colors used in a logo here
Obviously, generative art is potentially problematic, and any final choices color choices / logos and art should come from a commissioned artist and/ or community member
Alright, here’s the adjusted on-grid Inkscape SVG with the background removed (the outline is the same color as the palette’s background, so on the dark background it appears without an outline like above)
