Pixels before pixels. Every small thing adds up to something bigger than itself — for the detail person who knows precision can dance.

Inspired by A Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jatte, 1884–1886
Seurat didn't mix paint. He placed tiny dots of pure color next to each other and let your eyes do the mixing. Up close, just dots — blue dot, yellow dot, green dot, orange dot. Step back three feet and suddenly there's a woman with a parasol standing in dappled sunlight on a riverbank.
The technique is pointillism: tiny, uniform dots of pure color in calculated proximity. Optical mixing creates colors that are more luminous than any pre-mixed paint could be, because the individual hues retain their identity while creating a new whole.
Seurat's original is soft greens, blues, and earth tones — a Parisian park on a lazy afternoon. Sunday Dots takes the same dot-by-dot precision and fills it with confident, modern color. Coral and navy and marigold — the kind of palette that feels like a well-curated Instagram feed, except it was invented in 1886.
This is the kit for the detail person. The one who notices when something is two pixels off. Who has opinions about grid spacing. Her brand should look like someone was present for every decision — because she was.
Eight colors. Each one named for what it actually is, because "coral" tells you nothing and Coral Confetti tells you everything. Nothing here is flat. Everything is one dot at a time.
A coral that pops like a dot against everything around it. Not red, not orange — the specific warm-pink-orange of a celebration. Each dot of this color makes the surface come alive.
Deep navy with warmth hiding inside it. The structural color — the one that holds everything together while the brights do their thing. The parasol handle, not the fabric.
Golden-yellow that earns its name one dot at a time. Optimistic, specific, the color of a perfectly timed detail. Sunshine as punctuation.
Muted green with the calmness of still water. The resting color — where the eye goes between the brights to catch its breath.
Coral Confetti's quieter version. Warm, approachable, the color of something that's been loved for a while. The faded awning, the sun-warmed stone.
The surprising dark. Purple-berry that adds depth and richness to what could otherwise be a pretty palette. The shadow that proves the light.
Not pure white — the warm white of stretched canvas or good paper. The ground that every dot sits on. Clean but present.
The neutral that doesn't disappear. Warm gray with a hint of mauve — the park path, the stone wall, the frame around the painting.
DM Serif Display places the dot. Inter draws the line. Space Grotesk fills the field. Step back and the picture emerges. All three are free Google Fonts, forever yours.
The most optically refined sans on Google Fonts. Variable font with meticulous size-specific adjustments. Inter at medium weights creates clear geometric hierarchy beneath DM Serif Display's editorial presence. Precision without pretension.
Proportional sans-serif derived from the monospaced Space Mono family. Space Grotesk retains the geometric rigor of monospaced design while adapting for comfortable reading. It has personality DM Sans or Inter don't quite reach — a quiet confidence, a sense that someone who cares about grids chose this font.
A color swatch on white tells you nothing. What matters is how a color behaves next to other colors. These are the signature pairings — the combinations Sunday Dots was built for.
The kit is available now. If you want a custom kit built specifically for your world — or if you'd like Emmy to translate Sunday Dots into a full website — that's available too.
