About this palette

This 5-color muted palette runs from Dhūsar Grey (#AAAAAA) as its lightest tone to Stone Cold (#555555) as its darkest. It blends Bretzel Brown, Harā Green, Brandywine Raspberry, Stone Cold and Dhūsar Grey 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.
