About this palette

This 4-color muted palette runs from Porpoise (#DBDBDB) as its lightest tone to Secluded Green (#706D54) as its darkest. It blends Secluded Green, Historic Town, Basswood and Porpoise 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.
