About this palette

This 4-color earthy palette runs from Wave Crest (#DDE9EB) as its lightest tone to Rich and Rare (#957541) as its darkest. It blends Rich and Rare, Golden History, Beach Party and Wave Crest 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.

Grounded, natural tones — suits sustainability/organic brands, coffee shops, outdoor gear, and warm editorial typography.
