# Sunset color palettes

Looking for a sunset palette? These 3 are hand-picked — apricot into coral into plum — the gradient flattened into three tokens you can actually build with — 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.
