About this palette

This 4-color muted palette runs from Ephemeral Blue (#CDD5E0) as its lightest tone to Cobalt Flame (#4E709D) as its darkest. It blends Tacao, Cobalt Flame, High Tide and Ephemeral Blue 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.
