Nordic color palettes

Nordic palettes are the light of a Copenhagen winter afternoon: birch, oat, fog gray, a cold blue through the window, and charcoal for the stove. They suit interiors, slow fashion, furniture and calm software — brands that sell space rather than noise.

Pale palettes fail on contrast, not taste. Each palette here holds one near-black stop that carries every text pair on the page, letting the birch and oat do the atmosphere without being asked to hold an AA ratio they cannot reach.
