Light color palettes

Light tones pair with more light tones and one grounding mid or dark for legibility.

Light 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 Daybreak: #f5efec, #eae5d7, #dddec2, #d6e2ca, #c6e0d0. It works immediately for layouts, and you can open it in the generator to get RGB, HSL, CMYK, and Pantone values.
