Minimalist Color Palettes

How the colors relate

Slate creates structure, white preserves visual space, and a clean blue accent makes the single important action easy to find.

Where to use each role

Let background and surface colors occupy most of the interface, keep slate for type and borders, and reserve blue for links, focus, and primary actions.

A useful variation

Warm the background slightly for an editorial feel, or cool the accent toward teal when the product needs a calmer technical character.
