About metallic color palettes

Metallic palettes simulate gold, silver and bronze using flat colour and careful lightness steps. This page collects 24 metallic color palettes, each one generated and then filtered so that every scheme is actually usable in a real design rather than just pleasant to look at.

Most metallic schemes anchor somewhere around sage (#ad9e7f), a warm hue sitting near 40 degrees on the color wheel at roughly 22% saturation. The palettes below span a lightness range of about 58 points, which is wide enough to give you a background, a mid-tone and a text color from the same set. Neighbouring hues that sit side by side on the color wheel for a calm, cohesive feel.

When you build with metallic, resist the urge to use it everywhere. Pick one swatch as your dominant colour, one as a supporting tone, and reserve the most saturated value for elements you genuinely want people to click. Everything else should be a neutral drawn from the same hue family so the whole interface feels deliberate.
