Most summer schemes anchor somewhere around sky blue (#73c3de), a cool hue sitting near 195 degrees on the color wheel at roughly 62% saturation. The palettes below span a lightness range of about 48 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.

Seasonal palettes date quickly if you apply them at full strength, so treat these summer schemes as a mood layer over a stable neutral base. That way a seasonal campaign can be swapped out without rebuilding the underlying design system.
