About this palette

This 4-color muted palette runs from Water Squirt (#D7EAEA) as its lightest tone to Velvet Morning (#69779B) as its darkest. It blends Velvet Morning, Lavender Spectacle, Daly Waters and Water Squirt 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.
