More Info

Helion

Helion is a WCAG-compliant mid-contrast color palette inspired by Solarized, as well as colors that faded away — pigments whose manufacture have been lost or replaced, either due to hard-to-find materials or, more often, toxicity.

Palette

Helion consists of 16 primary colors, with 8 base colors and 8 accents.
