About this palette

This 4-color vibrant palette runs from USC Gold (#FFCC00) as its lightest tone to Vampiric Bloodlust (#CC0066) as its darkest. It blends USC Gold, Pompelmo, Vampiric Bloodlust and Petrichor 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.
