Retro Color Palette for Procreate

A page from What’s Cooking, Tormont 1990. I Found this book in one of Ashland’s Little Free Libraries.

As I was lying on my yoga mat enduring the discomfort of a Lower Cobra pose, I was distracted by one of the book covers on my shelf. It was a cook book with an appealing 60s-style color palette. Later I shot some pix to grab a color palette and included the Color Munki color reference card so that I would have a true white in the picture.

I processed the image in Photoshop to reduce the colors to a mere 16 by doing Image -> Mode -> Indexed Color, then I airdropped the image to my iPad and Procreate. I used the default marker brush. Here’s what I came up with.
