Dark Academia Procreate Color Palette – 30 Moody Bookish Swatches | Digital Download

Bring the romance of dusty libraries, candlelit studies, and vintage manuscripts to your iPad with the Dark Academia Procreate Color Palette. Thoughtfully curated for illustrators, letterers, and digital painters, this handpicked collection delivers 30 rich, moody tones that evoke worn leather, aged parchment, black ink, ivy greens, and twilight shadows. If you love the bookish, scholarly vibe—and want your artwork to feel cohesive and atmospheric—this palette is your shortcut to creating that timeless aesthetic in Procreate.

Designed for seamless workflow, each swatch is organized to keep your color story consistent from sketch to final render. Whether you’re crafting editorial illustrations, aesthetic social posts, gothic portraits, or literary-themed stickers, these hues harmonize beautifully so you can focus on the art, not the guesswork. Expect deep charcoals and sepias for dramatic contrast, muted olives and forest tones for grounded depth, and soft creams, taupes, and dusty neutrals that balance your compositions with quiet elegance.
