How to use it
- Plum Noir on Cream is the reading pair. Persimmon is the call to action, with Plum Noir text on it.
- Apricot fills big areas where Persimmon would be too much, like a hero band or a card.
- Mulberry links the two: use it for hover states, secondary headings and illustration shadows.
Making a music or podcast clip? Wayvl takes a wave colour and a background colour, so two of these codes are all it needs.
