Cool color palettes

Cool colors pair with silver, white, and gray. A single warm accent keeps a cool scheme from feeling cold.

Cool palettes are defined by their saturation and value rather than a single hue, which makes them flexible across brand, web, and editorial work. The schemes here hold that tonal character across many different hues.

A strong example from this page is Northwind: #cee1e9, #85bed6, #4b87b4, #2b6082, #203346. It works immediately for layouts, and you can open it in the generator to get RGB, HSL, CMYK, and Pantone values.
