How this list was compiled: Own work, written for Draw This Next on 2026-10-01: palettes of five colors for a picture of a sign of the zodiac, four for each sign and twelve for Gemini. Each palette is drawn from one plain thing about the sign, and its line says which: the sign's element, its season in the northern hemisphere, or its symbol. Every palette, color word and hex code is our own choice. No palette is offered as a sign's lucky color or as a color that belongs to a sign, and nothing here says anything about a person. The signs, their symbols, their elements, their dates and their seasons in the northern hemisphere are from the table of the twelve signs in Wikipedia, Astrological sign (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological_sign), read 2026-10-01 and again on 2026-10-02: Aries, the ram, fire; Taurus, the bull, earth; Gemini, the twins, air; Cancer, the crab, water; Leo, the lion, fire; Virgo, the maiden, earth; Libra, the scales, air; Scorpio, the scorpion, water; Sagittarius, the archer, fire; Capricorn, the goat, earth; Aquarius, the water-bearer, air; Pisces, the fish, water. The dates in each line are that table's, which calls them approximate: the start of every sign can change slightly from year to year, so the line says about. Spring signs are Aries, Taurus and Gemini; summer, Cancer, Leo and Virgo; fall, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius; winter, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces; what a season looks like is our own reading of a temperate place. Color names are plain English words and one word is one code everywhere on the list. Checked on 2026-10-02: every code is #RRGGBB, no palette and no name repeats, each color word fits the hue and lightness of its code, no two colors of a palette are closer than 8 in CIE Lab, no two palettes share four colors, and no palette is on another palette list of this site or of its sister sites. The hex codes are for a screen; with paint or pencils, take the nearest color. Licence: own work
