About this palette

This 4-color muted palette runs from Race the Sun (#EEF3D2) as its lightest tone to C64 Purple (#6A67CE) as its darkest. It blends C64 Purple, Amethyst Grey, Creeping Bellflower and Race the Sun 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.
