About this palette

This 4-color earthy palette runs from Buckwheat Flour (#EFE3D0) as its lightest tone to Tulipan Violet (#986D8E) as its darkest. It blends Tulipan Violet, Lake Water, Raw Sugar and Buckwheat Flour 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.

Grounded, natural tones — suits sustainability/organic brands, coffee shops, outdoor gear, and warm editorial typography.
