Double Complementary Color Palette
A double complementary scheme uses two opposite pairs picked close together on the wheel. You get a warm, graduated palette — the backbone of most multicolour gradients.

A palette made for gradients
Because the hues follow one another, they blend cleanly: this is the basis of the multicolour gradients you see on SaaS landing pages. Chain the colours in colour-wheel order and the gradient stays crisp, with no muddy middle.
Keeping it readable
These palettes run warm and saturated: always set text on a neutral, never straight onto the gradient. The darkest tone in the palette makes excellent body text on a light background.
