How to use it

Written by hand for the hue family and lightness of this palette, not assembled from a template.

The lead colour sits in the middle of the lightness range, which makes it the most adaptable: both light and dark themes are easy to build on.

Pairs withReliable with deep blue and graphite grey; a little warm orange wakes it up.
