Coastal Morning Palette

Using this palette

Unlike most 'coastal' palettes that reach straight for saturated turquoise, this one is built around the actual color of a foggy harbor morning — desaturated gray-greens with a single warm note (#EDD6C8) standing in for the sun trying to break through. Nothing here is darker than a mid-gray, which is honest to the source but means it can't carry small text on its own; if you need body copy, add a real dark neutral (charcoal or near-black) that isn't part of this set. Works well as a calm, low-energy background palette for wellness, hospitality, or editorial sites; it will look washed out if used for anything meant to feel urgent or bold.
