District 7: Lumber

Lumber & Paper - Former Pacific Northwest / Oregon
Dense ForestPacific NorthwestRainy

Covering the vast temperate rainforests of the former Pacific Northwest, District 7 is defined by trees. Ancient forests stretching for hundreds of miles provide Panem's lumber, paper, and wood products. The constant rain and deep wilderness forge independent, resilient people who understand patience - trees take decades to grow and moments to fall. Forest terrain gives District 7 tributes natural camouflage and environmental mastery.

Deep forest green, bark brown, and ash gray — District 7's palette is the ancient forest rendered in color. Dark green for the canopy that blocks the sky. Rich brown for the trunks that have stood for centuries. Ash gray for the aftermath of the axe. These colors feel primal, grounded, and slightly dangerous — like Johanna Mason herself.
