Glacier blue with a safety-orange accent: technical outdoor gear, not lifestyle.

Violet and pink on lilac-white: Gen-Z friendly, while the deep plum text keeps it legible.

A pure greyscale with a single electric blue — the portfolio palette that makes work look considered.

Slate blue with a copper accent — calm, professional, slightly editorial; suits consultancies and journals.

Three blues from ice to deep water on a pale surface — a monochromatic winter set with real depth.

Steel blue and haze with a buoy orange on a pale grey — the maritime palette every port town uses for a reason.

Greys on near-black — the monochrome dark mode; keep everything a tint of white and the layout does the talking.

Emerald, amethyst and ruby on velvet-black — the jewel-tone trio; the surface must be dark or the stones go plastic.

Deep sapphire and gold with a teal — old-money jewel tones on an ivory ground; heraldic without a crest.
