Color choices

Fossil dig site colors can begin with sandy tan soil and warm gray rocks around the exposed skeleton. Use ivory or pale beige for the skull, ribs, spine, and limb bones. Combine khaki tents with brown crates and silver tools, then color the workers’ hats and clothing in earthy greens, blues, or oranges. Dark wheelbarrow and shovel accents can provide contrast.

Excavation Color Key

Choose a separate color family for the dig area, camp equipment, workers, and fossil. Repeat selected accent colors across hats, buckets, crates, and tools to connect the scene.
