About this palette

This 4-color vibrant palette runs from Lotus Petal (#F3E9DC) as its lightest tone to Golden Lion Tamarin (#C75D2C) as its darkest. It blends Lotus Petal, Tango, Golden Lion Tamarin and Duckling 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.
