Palettes built around it
Farmers Market
Open in tool →Tomato, leaf and honey — the three colors of a produce stand, warm enough to make anything look fresh.
Trailhead
Open in tool →Rust, pine and sun — high-visibility earth tones that read at a distance and on a trail sign.
Retro Pop
Open in tool →Fifties-diner red and steel blue with a peach — nostalgic pop that still passes contrast.
Saffron
Open in tool →Saffron and clove with a teal counterpoint — spice-market warmth, balanced so it doesn't go orange everywhere.
Harvest
Open in tool →Pumpkin, straw and burnt gold on parchment — the autumn palette that still feels like a product, not a place-mat.
Maple
Open in tool →The three colours a maple goes through in October, on a warm white — loud, seasonal, and readable because the type is near-black.
Woodsmoke
Open in tool →Amber and oxblood on smoky brown — a fireside dark mode that photographs whisky, leather and wool.
Tequila Sunrise
Open in tool →Red through orange to yellow — the poured-drink gradient as flat tokens; use it left-to-right, never all at once.
