About this palette

This 5-color muted palette runs from Futon (#E9F7D9) as its lightest tone to Silver Hill (#6B737B) as its darkest. It blends Futon, Bay, Nursery Wall, Boulder Creek and Silver Hill into a single set you can drop straight into a UI. None of the 10 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.
