This palette pairs olive (yellow) with mustard (yellow), filled out with three supporting tones generated to bridge them. Click any swatch to copy its hex.
Theory
Why this pairing works
Olive and Mustard sit in different parts of the wheel, so they contrast rather than blend. The three generated bridge tones share lightness with the anchors, which keeps the jump between them smooth. Use the boldest color for one focal point, the softer tones for large areas, and the second anchor as an accent.
