About cool palettes

Cool colors sit on the green, blue and violet side of the color wheel, plus grays with a blue undertone. They tend to feel calm, clean and trustworthy, and they recede visually, which makes spaces and layouts feel more open. Banks, software, healthcare and science brands lean on them for exactly that reason.

Cool palettes can feel distant if everything is the same temperature. Use a deep navy or slate for text, light icy tints for backgrounds and a brighter teal, cyan or violet as the accent. If you need a call to action to really stand out, a single warm color is the strongest contrast to a cool palette.
