Sunset Color Palette

A sunset-inspired palette moving from twilight violet through magenta and coral to warm gold.

This is a stylized sunset palette rather than a sampled photograph or physical color standard.

Palette colors

Dark anchor Twilight #2D1B4E
Cool accent Violet #7B2CBF
Warm transition Coral #E85D75
Warm accent Orange #FF8C42
Highlight Golden Light #FFD166

Each swatch chooses black or white label text using the higher WCAG contrast ratio for that single solid color. Final component contrast still depends on your actual text size and context.

Suggested use

Designed for posters, hero graphics, social artwork, and expressive UI surfaces where a warm-to-cool progression is more useful than a monochromatic palette.
