Saturation runs high, so use the brightest color sparingly and let the others carry the surface area. The overall temperature is warm.

The palette holds together thanks to its analogous hue relationship and a strong light-to-dark ladder (92% down to 19% lightness). A natural fit for wellness, organic and outdoor brands.
