Core Goth Colour Palette

The goth colour palette is an exquisite symphony of shadows, revolving around the timeless allure of black. Black is the backbone, the essence that defines gothic fashion. It's the canvas where other dark shades unfold, creating a badass composition.

Deep burgundy, midnight blue, rich purple, and forest green are often woven into the tapestry, adding depth. These velvety tones evoke mystery and sophistication, contributing to the dark vibe that characterises the goth style. Silver and pewter accents provide a metallic contrast, enhancing the overall mystique.

As we bid adieu, may your journey through the shadows be filled with confidence, laughter, and an ever-expanding wardrobe of goth essentials as dark as the night. Stay dark, stay fabulous, and keep slaying that goth game!
