Why Melancholia works
Melancholia brings a fresh and natural feel to a palette. This deep green suits finance apps and outdoor gear. Melancholia plays well with pink tones. The harmonies below show which ones. On white it reads clearly at 12.99:1 contrast, safe for body text under WCAG AA.

The day's palette
Five colors, engine-built: a mid shade for depth, Melancholia itself, two tints for light surfaces, and the complement for accents. Every swatch copies its hex; every name opens that color's page.
