<p>Color palettes give you a full spectrum of colors to add life to your project.</p>

<p>Each palette defines 10 color hues with a scale of 11 tints. While the tints have consistent lightness values across palettes, each palette has unique hue shifts and chroma to give it unique character so you can find just the right vibe to your project.</p>
