Palettes built around it
Trailhead
Open in tool →Rust, pine and sun — high-visibility earth tones that read at a distance and on a trail sign.
Midnight Luxe
Open in tool →Champagne gold on ink-navy with a violet undertone — hotels and spirits use it because it reads expensive at any size.
Kiln
Open in tool →Fired clay and ash on a dark umber — the earthy dark mode; warm enough that the dark surface reads as material, not void.
Darkroom
Open in tool →Sepia, faded ochre and a teal shadow on aged paper — the photograph-in-a-drawer palette, tuned so it still passes AA.
Mid-Century
Open in tool →Tangerine, teal and mustard on cream — the 1960s lounge trio, one of the few retro palettes with real hue contrast.
Typewriter
Open in tool →Ink-black and ribbon-red on manila — the correspondence palette; all the vintage comes from the paper colour.
Fireside
Open in tool →Cranberry, pine and brass on a charcoal night — the holiday palette without the clichés, because the surface is cold.
Undergrowth
Open in tool →Fern and lichen with a fungus orange on a fir-black — the forest floor at dusk, as a dark theme.
