Procreate Color Palette – Midnight Gothic Ink Tones for Dark, Moody Art

Design faster and paint with confidence using Midnight Gothic, a meticulously curated Procreate color palette crafted for dramatic, moody artwork. This collection blends inky blacks, smoky charcoals, deep merlots, midnight blues, muted purples, and aged metallics to give your illustrations a refined, gothic edge. Whether you’re sketching dark fantasy scenes, editorial portraits, tattoo-style linework, or atmospheric concept art, these harmonized tones help you achieve cohesion without second-guessing your color choices.

Why it works: every hue was selected to layer beautifully and balance contrast. You’ll find rich shadows for depth, soft desaturated mid-tones for subtle gradients, and strategic highlights to make focal points glow. The result is a palette that enables striking contrast and cinematic mood with minimal effort—perfect for posters, book covers, character design, and social media visuals that need instant impact.
