About ocean color palettes

Layered blues from surface foam down to deep water, plus a strip of wet sand. This page collects 24 ocean 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 ocean schemes anchor somewhere around verdigris (#46acce), a cool hue sitting near 195 degrees on the color wheel at roughly 58% saturation. The palettes below span a lightness range of about 64 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.

Colours sampled from ocean tend to be less saturated than people expect, because real light is never pure. Keeping one desaturated swatch in the palette is what makes the whole thing feel photographed rather than invented.
