About this palette

This 6-color earthy palette runs from Dressed to the Nines (#BA5258) as its lightest tone to Velvet Black (#261C22) as its darkest. It blends Dressed to the Nines, Cranberry Jam, Deep Carmine, Dark Fig Violet, Red Onion and Velvet Black into a single set you can drop straight into a UI. None of the 15 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.
