What makes it Sunset.
Three measurable properties separate this palette from its neighbours.
Warm gradient logic
Violet to amber
The palette moves like the sky at dusk: dark violet, red-violet, coral, orange, then pale gold.
High accent energy
2 bright anchors
Coral Flare and Amber Heat create the sunset signal. Use them together sparingly so the palette keeps depth.
Dark anchor included
Dusk at 17%
Dusk Violet gives the warm colors a readable base for type, buttons, poster headers, and contrast.
Where it works.
Three registers where the palette earns its place — not every brief wants this palette, and that's the point.
Travel and hospitality
Hotels, beach clubs, rooftop bars, festivals, and destination campaigns where warmth and time of day matter.
Music and events
Posters, lineups, and motion graphics benefit from the strong violet-to-amber contrast.
Digital campaigns
Use as a controlled gradient system, with Last Light as the landing-page surface and Coral Flare for calls to action.
Pair with — avoid with.
Tones that extend the palette, and tones that break the contract it was built on.
