About this palette
Sunbaked Mint Bazaar is palette number 19,700 of Tintly's fifteen million generated palettes. It is a earthy palette built on a tetradic scheme, and it is anchored by Mint (#62B385), the most saturated of its five colors.
The palette reads as organic, honest and tactile. Its colors run from Apricot (#EBC9A6) at the light end to Charcoal (#343B06) at the dark end, covering 33% to 86% 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 orange, green, blue and magenta families, spread across 273 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 0.087 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 Apricot (#EBC9A6) with Charcoal (#343B06) at a contrast ratio of 7.57:1, which is WCAG AAA. Across all 10 possible pairs, 2 reach the 4.5:1 AA level for normal text and 1 more reach 3:1 for large text.

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.

Let one hue take most of the space and use the others sparingly. Control the mood with lightness and saturation rather than hue.
