How to use it
Suggested roles: #42DBFB as the background, #1CAB9A for cards and surfaces, #1FC5CE as the primary brand color, #17906D as the accent, and #072014 for text (a computed darker shade of Moss, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Let one hue lead and let the others support it. Keep one color noticeably lighter or darker than the rest so the layout has a clear focal point.
Typical uses for a vivid palette include app and product marketing, event posters, social media graphics and entertainment brands. Open it in the generator to lock the colors you love and reroll the rest, or in the visualizer to see it on real layouts.
