Dartmoor in Colour | Colour Wheel of Dartmoor Dartmoor possesses its own unique nomenclature of colour.Β  Its landscape, flora, fauna and geology make for a full spectrum of colour.Β  This original design illustrates Dartmoor’s unique palette using its very own natural descriptions, with precise colours sampled from actual photographs of each subject described.
