About this palette

This 4-color muted palette runs from Merlin’s Cloak (#87556F) as its lightest tone to Deep Well (#322F3D) as its darkest. It blends Shot Over, Deep Well, Navy Cosmos and Merlin’s Cloak 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.
