At The Colour Palette Company, we love bringing places to life through colour – and our latest collaboration with Tullie Museum & Gallery is a perfect example.
The Carlisle Colour Palette celebrates the city’s character, history, and hidden gems in six unique shades:
-
Backing the Blues: Honouring Carlisle United, the football heartbeat of the city.
-
Tyrian Purple: Inspired by Carlisle’s Roman heritage and imperial past.
-
Custard Cream: A sweet nod to Carlisle’s biscuit-making legacy.
-
Wyvern Red: Echoing the fierce wyverns on Carlisle’s coat of arms.
-
Castle Sandstone: Paying tribute to the iconic red sandstone of Carlisle Castle.
-
Bitts Park Green: Fresh, lively, and full of community spirit.
For founder and designer Stacey Barnfield, Carlisle was the perfect city to capture in colour:
“When we research palettes, we look for the stories, places, and traditions that really matter to people. Carlisle’s mix of history, sport, and community pride gave us so much inspiration. We’re delighted to see The Carlisle Colour Palette come to life with the support of Tullie.”
The palette is available exclusively at Tullie Museum & Gallery, where visitors can explore the colours and discover more about the city’s vibrant past and present.
