About this palette

This 6-color muted palette runs from Sapphired (#5A80A7) as its lightest tone to Telopea (#2A2540) as its darkest. It blends Telopea, Midnight Pie, Naggaroth Night, Purple Berry, UCLA Blue and Sapphired 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.
