About this palette
Sunbaked Sage Mirage is palette number 15,836 of Tintly's fifteen million generated palettes. It is a earthy palette built on a tetradic scheme, and it is anchored by Sage (#98B674), the most saturated of its five colors.
The palette reads as organic, honest and tactile. Its colors run from Pink (#E7BDB1) at the light end to Brown (#4B3E1E) at the dark end, covering 37% to 83% perceptual lightness, so it has real range rather than five similar tones.

Harmony and structure
Four hues are spaced around the wheel in two complementary pairs. It is the richest scheme, and the hardest to balance.
In this palette the hues fall in the red, green, cyan, violet and yellow families, spread across 271 degrees of the OKLCH hue circle. Earthy palettes keep chroma between 0.04 and 0.11, and lightness between 34% and 86%, which is why the set feels consistent.
Temperature and mood
Overall the palette is temperature-balanced: 2 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.07 makes the saturation balanced.
That combination suits food and coffee brands, outdoor and craft businesses and interior-design boards, and it is a good fit when you want a design to feel organic, honest and tactile.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Pink (#E7BDB1) with Brown (#4B3E1E) at a contrast ratio of 6.13:1, which is WCAG AA. Across all 10 possible pairs, 2 reach the 4.5:1 AA level for normal text and 2 more reach 3:1 for large text.
On the Pink background (#E7BDB1), #4B3E1E can be used for text at AA contrast.
On the Brown text color (#4B3E1E), #E7BDB1 and #98B674 reach AA contrast.
All five colors stay distinguishable under protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia simulations, which is a good sign, although it is no substitute for testing with real users.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #E7BDB1 as the background, #418293 for cards and surfaces, #98B674 as the primary brand color, #634A7A as the accent, and #4B3E1E for text. A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Let one hue take most of the space and use the others sparingly. Control the mood with lightness and saturation rather than hue.
