About this palette

This 4-color muted palette runs from Carla (#F5FAC8) as its lightest tone to Coastal Calm (#539092) as its darkest. It blends Carla, Cool Crayon, Aaquatic Wonderland and Coastal Calm 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.
