About this palette

This 4-color muted palette runs from Timid Absinthe (#DADDB1) as its lightest tone to Perfect Khaki (#B3A492) as its darkest. It blends Timid Absinthe, Perfect Khaki, Warm Neutral and Parlour Taupe 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.
