How to use Tropical Lagoon Shimmer

Overview

The Tropical Lagoon Shimmer palette captures the breathtaking sparkle and clarity of untouched tropical waters, from deep lagoons to shimmering shallows.

The lighter tones, a luminous Aquamarine (#7FFFD4) and a delicate Pale Turquoise (#AFEEEE), evoke the sun glinting off crystal-clear surfaces. This playful yet elegant palette is perfect for designs seeking to convey freshness, natural beauty, and a sense of open, inviting spaces. Designers and developers can use it to create airy interfaces, inspiring travel content, or serene product branding.

Accessibility notes

  • Crucial to check contrast for text on lighter shades like #7FFFD4 and #AFEEEE.
  • These very light colors will require dark text (e.g., black or dark blue) to pass WCAG AA.
  • The darker colors (#008080, #20B2AA) offer good contrast for white or light-colored text.
  • Avoid using #7FFFD4 or #AFEEEE for essential text elements without very strong contrast.
