The hues stay within 27° of each other on the color wheel, which is why the palette feels cohesive rather than busy. The colors are light and airy, which suits friendly, soft-spoken brands. The overall temperature is warm.
It works because the lightness steps are gentle (68% to 99%), which keeps the mood consistent from edge to edge. Try it for social media templates and gentle interfaces.
