About this palette

This 9-color earthy palette runs from Hashibami Brown (#BCA371) as its lightest tone to Waterhen Back (#2E4052) as its darkest. It blends Living Large, Toasted Nut, Hashibami Brown, Zesty Apple, Astroturf, Nordic Pine, Waterhen Back, Mixed Berry Jam and Fermata into a single set you can drop straight into a UI. None of the 36 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.
