Palettes built around it
Fresh Juice

Learning App
Open in tool →Green, blue and orange at full saturation: the gamified-learning look, where every color is a reward.
Crayon Box
Open in tool →Red, teal and yellow at crayon saturation — joyful, but on white with black type so it stays readable for grown-ups.

Retro Pop
Open in tool →Fifties-diner red and steel blue with a peach — nostalgic pop that still passes contrast.
Paper & Pine
Open in tool →Deep pine on paper-white with a marmalade accent — a quiet, sustainable-brand palette that isn't beige.
Diner
Open in tool →Cherry red, mint-teal and butter yellow — chrome-and-vinyl retro; the red does the work, the teal cools it.
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.
