About vaporwave color palettes
These 24 vaporwave palettes centre near 290° at high saturation, with lightness room for both washed pinks and deeper twilight purples.
They fit music visuals, ironic retro brands, streaming overlays and any graphic that wants 80s/early-web nostalgia through a dreamy filter.
Gradient from magenta into cyan across hero art, keep a pale lavender or grey for UI chrome, and use deep purple only behind text. Flat corporate navy will kill the vibe; embrace the bleach and the glow.

Vaporwave color palette FAQ
What colours make a vaporwave palette?
Sun-bleached magenta and cyan such as periwinkle (#cedbf8), powder blue (#b9f2d9), lilac (#f299ac), often joined by chrome greys and pastel purple. Split-complementary tension plus fade defines the look.
Which hex codes are classic vaporwave?
Copy #cedbf8, #b9f2d9, #f299ac, #9d72ec, #e246ae, #27dd5e, #8ec219, #8a1da7, near #cf61e5. Soften the loudest pair slightly if you need UI readability, but do not replace them with earth tones.
How do I use vaporwave colour in a modern layout?
Reserve the magenta-cyan clash for artwork and retain a calmer lavender grey for forms and navigation. Grid lines, Greek busts and chrome type are optional; the colour does most of the signalling.
