About this palette

This 6-color earthy palette runs from Fozzie Bear (#6F615C) as its lightest tone to Black Knight (#030911) as its darkest. It blends Milk Chocolate, Overbaked, Fozzie Bear, Mountain Pine, Black Pearl and Black Knight 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.

Grounded, natural tones — suits sustainability/organic brands, coffee shops, outdoor gear, and warm editorial typography.
