Using it

Do

  • Use cream paper and warm off-white as the visible majority; let coral, apricot, teal, cerulean, and olive-gold appear as remembered objects rather than decoration.
  • Reserve faded coral record for the primary action, selected states, or one key data series; use teal and cerulean as cooling counterpoints.
  • Use plum ink for primary text and deepest ramp stops so darks feel grounded, not muddy brown.
  • Build gallery-polished layouts with clean light tints from 50-200 and grounded 700-950 stops for contrast.

Avoid

  • Do not push the palette into sepia-only vintage, brown overlays, retro-costume typography, or faux aging effects.
  • Do not combine all accents at equal saturation in one screen; keep one warm accent dominant and let blue/teal breathe.
  • Avoid neon replacements, childish primaries, generic candy pastels, pure black, and pure white.
