Starry Night Color Palette begins where the painting is almost still. Cypress night and blue-black mountain hold the lower edge in place, giving the sky something solid to move against.
Cobalt is the current rather than the background.
A paler blue follows its circular path like paint catching predawn light, while ochre gives the moon weight and lemon yellow lets the stars pulse at a sharper frequency.
Use the darkest pair for silhouette and depth, the two blues for broad fields or directional movement, and keep both yellows concentrated.
The contrast works because illumination occupies less space than night.
These HEX values interpret the painting's color roles rather than claim to be official MoMA specifications.
