The Dublin Colour Palette

Dublin Gifts, Irish Gifts and Colourful Wall Art

Dublin is a city of stories, colour and character. From the dark pint that became one of Ireland’s most famous exports to the River Liffey, Georgian brickwork, Trinity College and the green spaces tucked between its busy streets, there was plenty to work with when creating The Dublin Colour Palette.

Explore our collection of Dublin gifts, Irish wall art and colourful souvenirs, including mugs, art prints, tote bags and more. Designed for Dubliners, visitors and anyone with a connection to Ireland, they also make distinctive Irish gifts to send abroad to friends and family around the world.

Dublin takes its name from the Gaelic dubh linn, meaning ‘black pool’, and its history stretches from Viking settlement to the colourful, cosmopolitan capital we know today.

The Dublin Colour Palette tells a little of that story through six colours:

Black Stuff Black – A nod to Guinness, brewed at St James’s Gate since Arthur Guinness established his brewery there in 1759.

Liffey Water – For the river running through the heart of Dublin and the bridges that connect the city across it.

St Stephen’s Green – Inspired by the much-loved green space offering a little escape from the bustle of the city centre.

Coddle White – For Dublin’s famous one-pot comfort food. Arguments about the colour are welcome, obviously.

Kells Gold – Inspired by the extraordinary illuminated Book of Kells, one of Ireland’s great historical treasures and housed at Trinity College Dublin.

Henrietta Brick – For Dublin’s distinctive Georgian architecture and the beautiful red-brick houses of Henrietta Street.

Together they create a piece of Dublin that can travel anywhere. Choose Dublin wall art for the home, a colourful mug for someone missing the city or a Dublin gift for an Irish friend or family member living overseas.

From Dublin to New York, Sydney or wherever home happens to be now, six colours can bring back a lot of memories.
