About this palette

This 4-color vibrant palette runs from Opal Turquoise (#96D1C7) as its lightest tone to Embarrassment (#FC7978) as its darkest. It blends Hygiene Green, Opal Turquoise, Embarrassment and Fancy Flamingo 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.
