Bauhaus 26 is a modernist palette with warmth. It uses ivory instead of white, ochre instead of pure yellow, brick instead of primary red, black for structure, and indigo for tension. The result feels graphic without becoming a history lesson.
This palette wants confident layout. It looks best with strong alignment, big type, geometric blocks, and gradients that introduce movement without dissolving the composition. The colors are bold enough to stand alone, so the design should avoid unnecessary decoration.
How to use it
Use ivory as the canvas, black as the organizing line, and the three chromatic colors as spatial decisions. In gradients, let the colors meet with a little harder cutover or directional field; too much blur can make the palette less architectural.
Color story
The palette feels like a poster found in an archive and rebuilt for a screen. It has discipline, but it is not cold. The warmth is what keeps it contemporary.
