Palettes built around it
Gallery
Open in tool →Near-monochrome with one burnt-orange highlight — an art director's default because it never competes with the work.
Neobank
Open in tool →Purple-and-lime is the challenger-bank uniform — high energy, and clearly not a legacy bank.
Atelier
Open in tool →Black on bone with a whisper of gold: the runway default that lets garments carry the color.
Estate
Open in tool →Bronze on charcoal signals premium listings; the silver accent handles secondary detail without adding color.
Ember
Open in tool →Flame orange on charcoal — the sports and energy palette; one accent yellow for stats and highlights.
