# Ocean color palettes

Looking for an ocean palette? These 4 are hand-picked — cyan, sea-green and steel blue from shallow lagoon to abyss navy, usually with one warm buoy accent — each with role tokens, AA-checked text contrast, and a one-line note on why it works. Open one in the palette tool to lock what you like and regenerate the rest.
