Working with these colors
Found a base color? Generate its full scheme with the Color Palette Generator or turn two of them into a backdrop with the CSS Gradient Generator. Named colors are case-insensitive in CSS and can be used anywhere a color value is accepted — color, background-color, border, gradients and shadows alike.
