Wow you’re getting a fair bit of criticism for this. Maybe it’s warranted. I don’t know, I’m not a color theorist. But I do think that the colors you’ve chosen are pleasing to my eye and the text samples were very comfortable to read. Even if you are the only person to use this palette and enjoy it then I think what you’ve created is worth it. Thanks for sharing your work!

I think most of the criticism is fair and to be expected, especially as the design goals are very “opinionated” in a sense and on the other hand, everyone will have a subjective opinion on a colour palette themselves.

The original intent was really just to use it myself, but if at least a couple other people may benefit, I feel like putting in the effort to make it shareable is worth it.
