Palettes built around it
Terminal
Open in tool →Green for success, blue for links, pink for emphasis — the dark-mode developer family, tuned to sit on near-black without glare.
Neobank
Open in tool →Purple-and-lime is the challenger-bank uniform — high energy, and clearly not a legacy bank.
Noir Beauty
Open in tool →Black, gold and one deep red — the prestige cosmetics counter: all restraint and a single lipstick.
Electric Lime
Open in tool →One neon on white with black type — lime-and-black is the neon that works in daylight; the orange is a second gear.
Graphite Mono
Open in tool →Five greys, no hue — the true monochrome; the accent is a lighter grey, so hierarchy comes from weight and size alone.
