Sepia
Do you want to use this color in your promotional items? Here's what you should know!
Sepia photos look antiquated and timeless. As a color, sepia evokes those same feelings of antiquity, timelessness, and old-fashioned sensibilities.
Funnily enough, the color is actually named and inspired by a type of cuttlefish (Sepia apama). The fish is a dark shade of reddish brown.
Examples of Sepia Symbolism
According to the filmmakers of (500) Days of Summer, they wanted to create a movie that shows “how memory works” and how “our minds are a jumble of thoughts and images.” This is evident in the sepia color tones used throughout the film.
You can almost hear the piano playing before you even make a reservation at Sepia in Chicago. This restaurant, which is located in a converted print shop, prides itself on “melding vintage and contemporary.” The interior features sepia colored tables as well as memorabilia from the olden days in the Windy City.
Yeehaw! Dress like you’re in the frontier by visiting an Old Time Photos studio. This experience is offered at many tourist attractions, and you can hold onto the antiquated sepia photo as a timeless keepsake.
Sometimes one color just isn’t enough! Sepia works best with any of these other colors.
