About the mediterranean aesthetic
Mediterranean style evokes whitewashed walls, blue doors, lemon trees, olive groves, terracotta tiles and long lunches by the sea. Its palette is sunny and saturated: Aegean blue, whitewash, lemon yellow, olive, terracotta and a deep sea navy. It feels like summer in Greece, southern Italy or the Spanish coast.
On pins, these colors are joyful and easy to read. Blue bands with white text are crisp and fresh, while lemon accents add sparkle. The palette fits travel guides, summer recipes, outdoor dining, vacation outfits, tile inspired decor and garden patios.
How to use this palette on a pin
Aegean Blue with Whitewash text is the signature pairing. Use Amalfi Lemon as a background for recipe pins with Deep Sea titles. Terracotta and Olive suit garden and patio content. Add a lemon accent to any pin for a sunny touch.

Mediterranean color palette FAQ
What colors are Mediterranean style?
Bright blues, whitewash, lemon yellow, olive green, terracotta and deep sea navy. The palette reflects coastal architecture, gardens and the sea, so it is sunny and saturated.
How do I use Mediterranean colors for travel pins?
Put a white title on a solid Aegean blue band and add a lemon accent for a key word such as a number of days. This mirrors the blue doors and white walls in many coastal towns.
Is Mediterranean the same as coastal style?
Both use blue and white, but coastal decor is softer and more washed out. Mediterranean is warmer and more saturated, with terracotta, olive and lemon making it feel sunnier.
