How to use this palette

The first color in Designer Classic is the dominant tone — use it for primary surfaces and backgrounds. The middle three are the supporting palette: one warm, one cool, one neutral. The last is the accent — reserve it for highlights, calls-to-action, and emphasis.

For web projects, copy the CSS variables below. For print or illustration, use the hex codes directly. If you’re designing for accessibility, check the contrast between the text and background colors before you ship.

CSS
