Dark color palettes

Dark tones pair with one another when their undertones agree, plus a light or metallic accent for lift.

Dark palettes are defined by their saturation and value rather than a single hue, which makes them flexible across brand, web, and editorial work. The schemes here hold that tonal character across many different hues.

A strong example from this page is Nightfall: #5c94a3, #3f6f79, #233e57, #162131, #0d1217. It works immediately for layouts, and you can open it in the generator to get RGB, HSL, CMYK, and Pantone values.
