About this palette

This 4-color vibrant palette runs from Hornet Sting (#FF0032) as its lightest tone to Obsidian Shell (#3D1766) as its darkest. It blends Obsidian Shell, Fuchsia Nebula, Hornet Sting and Rebellion Red into a single set you can drop straight into a UI. None of the 6 in-palette color pairings clear the WCAG AA contrast threshold (4.5:1), so pair these colors with black or white for body text.

A versatile palette suitable for marketing pages, product hero blocks, illustrations, and accent UI states.
