How to build a palette

- Click a swatch to copy it, or copy all colours as CSS variables.
- Test contrast for text and buttons before you finalise.

Tips for brand colours
Most brands work with one main colour, one accent for buttons, and neutrals like white, grey and near-black. Keep your accent for actions so buttons stand out. Use the same palette everywhere: website, social posts, WhatsApp creatives and print.
