Earth tone hex codes

These are the core hex codes behind the gradients on this page. Click one to copy it.

Earth tones are the colors of soil, clay, moss and sand, and unlike single-color gradients they live from combination: green and brown together, terracotta against cream. That is what these backgrounds do, blending two or three earth families per composition so they feel like landscape light rather than a paint swatch.

The organic noise of the shader suits this palette better than any other: the warped color fields read as strata and sediment, and the grain adds the texture of recycled paper. A favorite for portfolio sites, packaging and interior-adjacent brands.

Frequently asked questions

Which hex codes are typical earth tones?

Soil brown #8A5A34, terracotta #A3543A, olive #7D8A4A, sand #D4BC94 and cream #F0E6D4 form the core family. The gradients on this page combine two or three of them over a dark soil base like #160F08.

Can I customize a earth tone gradient?

Yes. Use the dice on this page to generate endless earth tone variations, or open any gradient in the editor to fine-tune the colors, grain, contrast and effects.
