How to use a sunset color palette
- Start from one palette that already feels like sunset, then adjust single colors in the generator rather than mixing palettes.
- Give each color a job: background, text, primary action and highlight.
- Keep one neutral (off-white, sand or charcoal) to rest the eye between stronger colors.
- Check that your main text color reaches 4.5:1 contrast on its background.
