About this palette

This 4-color vibrant palette runs from Parmesan (#FFFFDD) as its lightest tone to Pacific Palisade (#61A3BA) as its darkest. It blends Pacific Palisade, Parmesan, Bitter Lemon and Opaline Green into a single set you can drop straight into a UI. None of the 6 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.
