The York Colour Palette

Jorvik Tan - for the Viking arrival in 866. Shambles Brown - for the most famous and celebrated street. Bile Beans Yellow - for the gorgeous ghost-sign on Lord Mayors Walk. Mallard Blue - for the holder of the steam world speed record. Constantine Bronze - for the Roman Emperor sitting in the shadow of York Minster. Haunted Grey - for the spooky encounters across the historic city.

Originally a Roman town, then conquered by Vikings, nowhere has such a rich history as York. This remarkable English city is home to York Minster, one of the world’s most significant cathedrals, the development of railways and its picture-perfect Shambles.
