Joker Colors
Purple and green give this Joker-inspired palette its comic-book look, with red, magenta, teal and black available for details.
Jack Nicholson’s Joker wears a vivid purple suit. Heath Ledger’s version pairs a darker purple coat with a green vest, while Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck is recognizable by his red suit. The six HEX values here are design swatches inspired by the character.
