Vaporwave color palettes

Vaporwave palettes are a 1984 that never happened: mall teal, sunset magenta, statue-marble white and the deep violet of a CRT left on too long. They suit music, streaming, retro-future brands, night apps — nostalgia for a memory.

The genre collapses into grid-texture pastiche immediately. Each palette here keeps one genuinely dark stop — the CRT violet — and pushes the pastels slightly out of register, the chromatic drift of a worn VHS dub.
