Notes
Sky 600 is the colour of a clear sky an hour before sunset, with just enough cyan to keep it from feeling navy. Tailwind's hex is the headline blue for travel and weather products - the Citymapper app, Klima, and Backblaze all sit within a few delta-E of this neighbourhood. The depth puts it on the legible side of the contrast line against white at standard sizes. A warm coral #fb7185 gives the palette ridesharing apps have used since 2020; a single charcoal accent handles type. Body text against white passes AA at body sizes and AAA at 16px and above.
