The 5 colours
-
Cool Blue
A pale, icy blue. Pinterest also calls it a trend of its own this year.
-
Jade
Somewhere between mint and moss, in Pinterest’s words.
-
Plum Noir
A deep purple with burgundy and brown in it. The only dark one.
-
Wasabi
An electric chartreuse. Best in small doses.
-
Persimmon
A warm, bright orange red.

How to use it
- Plum Noir is the only dark colour, so it carries the text. It reads well on all four of the others, as the pairs below show.
- Let Cool Blue or Jade fill the page and keep Wasabi and Persimmon for small things: a button, a tag, a highlight. Two loud colours at full size fight each other.
- Pinterest pairs them in two sub palettes, Cool Blue with Wasabi and Persimmon with Plum Noir. Each has a page here with three more shades to go with it: Cool Blue and Wasabi, Persimmon and Plum Noir.
Making a music or podcast clip? Wayvl takes a wave colour and a background colour, so two of these codes are all it needs.
