Why it works and how to use it

Saturation is moderate, which keeps it flexible for both interfaces and print. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.
The palette holds together thanks to its complementary hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (65% down to 28% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
