About sun color palettes
Direct sunlight colour: hot centre, warm halo, bleached edge. This page collects 342 sun 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 sun schemes anchor somewhere around mustard (#f6d06a), a warm hue sitting near 44 degrees on the color wheel at roughly 88% saturation. The palettes below span a lightness range of about 46 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 sun 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.
