About this palette

This 4-color earthy palette runs from Cassiopeia (#AED0CB) as its lightest tone to Promised Amethyst (#6B617C) as its darkest. It blends Cassiopeia, Flirty Salmon, Herald of Spring and Promised Amethyst 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.
