How to use it

Written by hand for the hue family and lightness of this palette, not assembled from a template.

The lead color sits in the middle of the lightness range, which makes it the most adaptable: both light and dark themes are easy to build on.

Good forA pleasant secondary accent: gentler than red, more reliable than yellow. It guides rather than commands.

Use with careBeside saturated red or yellow the warm colors fight for attention — keep a single warm lead.

Pairs withDeep blue grounds it instantly; pale wood tones and cream give it a domestic feel.
