Midcentury palette

Overcast Beacon

A quiet five-stop midcentury arc with a confident middle — #7d1100 carries the weight and #fa8972 carries the air, with #b5351f, #d4533c and #db6d57 bridging in tetradic formation. Built for event posters that compete with a wall of other posters. The darkest and lightest stops clear AA as a text pair.

The generator opens with #7d1100 as the primary and the next two stops as secondary and accent — adjust, check contrast, and export tokens or CSS from there.
