About this palette

This 8-color earthy palette runs from Orange Grove (#FCB08C) as its lightest tone to Rose Tea (#B48D92) as its darkest. It blends Orange Grove, Cumquat Cream, Powder Blush, Rose Tea, Romantic Holiday, Electric Sky, Scorpion Grass Blue and Cashmere Blue into a single set you can drop straight into a UI. None of the 28 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.
