Nostalgia Amber

Check these colors together: contrast, harmony, color-blind view →Tap a color to copy its HEX

No two colors here reach 4.5:1 for body text. Set text in white or black instead — each swatch's HEX is drawn in whichever reads better.

Nostalgic palettes work because they are slightly desaturated and warm — they look like they've been in the light for years. Amber, soft gold, dusty rose, and warm gray create the tonal quality of old photographs and analog media without resorting to literal sepia filters.

A warm, slightly faded palette that reads as nostalgic without being literal about it. Use when the creative brief asks for memory, analog, warmth, or the particular emotional quality of things that have aged.
