Kwezal Essential Color Palette

A handcrafted, minimalist, general-purpose color palette containing just 64 colors. It includes black (Onyx), along with nine hues, seven shades each:

• green (Emerald)
• teal (Turquoise)
• blue (Sapphire)
• purple (Amethyst)
• pink (Spinel)
• red (Ruby)
• orange (Amber)
• yellow (Gold)
• gray (Silver)

The palette was designed according to the following criteria:

• All colors except the gray shades should have maximum saturation.
• There should be no eye-searing colors.
• Dark text should be legible on shades 1–3, light text on shades 5–7, and both on shade 4.
• All colors should be clearly distinguishable from each other.
• All colors should be subjectively attractive. 😉
