Mellow Market: a calm color scheme for TradingView charts
The TradingView chart colors I put together in 2023 to go easy on the eyes: a light gray background, soft green and red candles, blue-gray wicks.
https://stratinator.com/blog/mellow-market-tradingview/In February 2023 I wanted chart colors that are easy on the eyes and don’t tire them out over a session. I worked them out with some help from AI and called the result Mellow Market.
The idea is simple. A light gray background, candles in a soft green and a soft red, and dark blue-gray wicks and borders so the candles still have a clear edge.
The colors
| What | Color | Hex |
|---|---|---|
| Background | Light gray | #D3D3D3 |
| Up-close (bullish) candles | Soft green | #4DB089 |
| Down-close (bearish) candles | Soft red | #CC4F4F |
| Borders and wicks | Dark gray-blue | #1E2831 |
| Rectangles and lines | Soft blue | #A5C3D9 |
| Rectangles and lines, second color | Dark gray | #9B9B9B |
| Text | Dark gray | #4F4F4F |
Two complementary colors, in case you need more for drawings:
#498AA0, a soft blue-green, complementary to the green.#B98484, a soft pink-red, complementary to the red.
