Happy Color Palettes

Happy palettes create energy through clarity rather than maximum saturation. Use a bright lead color with calmer support colors so the interface still has a readable path.

Useful for

  • Onboarding and success moments
  • Children’s, community, and education products
  • Celebrations and campaign landing pages

Pairing notes

Give yellow and coral a quiet surface, then choose a dark blue or purple for text and actions. Keep the most saturated color for one memorable moment at a time.

Contrast note

Yellow is a surface color more often than a text color. Check links and icons on bright fills, and include shape or labels when color communicates status.
