About this palette

This 6-color muted palette runs from Clotted Red (#941416) as its lightest tone to Crow (#1C0818) as its darkest. It blends Crow, Chocolate Kiss, What We Do in the Shadows, Dark Humour, Heavy Heart and Clotted Red 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.

A versatile palette suitable for marketing pages, product hero blocks, illustrations, and accent UI states.
