About this palette

This 4-color muted palette runs from Tip of the Iceberg (#BBE4E9) as its lightest tone to Silver Lake Blue (#5585B5) as its darkest. It blends Silver Lake Blue, Blue Calypso, Twisted Blue and Tip of the Iceberg 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.
