70s Color Palettes with HEX Codes
The following examples were grabbed from Pinterest. Each color palette will be linked to the original source along with credit attributed within the caption. The HEX codes will also be cited under each image in case you’d like to copy and paste them directly from this post.
1. Mel’s Drive-In
A retro drive-in restaurant with a nice mix of blues and pinks.

3. Retro Van
The red dress against the dull yellow color of the van makes for a nice contrast with the muddy shade of the trees in the background.

The aged appeal of this photo along with the contrasting colors makes for one of my preferred 70s color palettes with hex.

Another aged photograph with a style reflective of the 70s.

A car straight out of the 70s, parked at the beach with some surfboards strapped to the roof.
