About this palette

This 7-color muted palette runs from Cosmic Berry (#8A4E95) as its lightest tone to Obsidian Shard (#050515) as its darkest. It blends Obsidian Shard, Lost in Sadness, Tetsu-Kon Blue, Paris M, Fading Horizon, Prism Violet and Cosmic Berry into a single set you can drop straight into a UI. None of the 21 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.
