Palettes built around it
Fresh Juice
Open in tool →Orange, mango and mint — a sugar rush; keep the type black so it stays legible under all that color.
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.
Playground
Open in tool →Orange, blue and green — the colors of playground equipment; loud, cheerful, obviously for kids.
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.
Woodsmoke
Open in tool →Amber and oxblood on smoky brown — a fireside dark mode that photographs whisky, leather and wool.
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.
