split-complementary

Pastel Mint to Lavender Mist

Two pastels that share the same tonal whisper — mint and lavender, both barely saturated, both within 1% lightness of each other. The 135° radial means the transition is almost imperceptible — the gradient feels less like 'two colours' and more like 'mood, drifting.' Made for products that promise rest: sleep apps, journaling tools, quiet-mode UI, evening-only experiences.

About this gradient

Two pastels that share the same tonal whisper — mint and lavender, both barely saturated, both within 1% lightness of each other. The 135° radial means the transition is almost imperceptible — the gradient feels less like 'two colours' and more like 'mood, drifting.' Made for products that promise rest: sleep apps, journaling tools, quiet-mode UI, evening-only experiences.

Colour story

#D9F2DF sits in the pale-mint zone (HSL 134°, 45% S, 90% L). #D9DDF2 is its mirror in lavender (HSL 230°, 45% S, 90% L). They share IDENTICAL lightness (90%) AND saturation (45%) — only the hue varies. This is why the gradient is so calm: the eye reads no shift in 'energy,' only in 'mood.' Split-complementary in name but harmonic in execution.

Where to use it

  • Sleep, meditation, breathwork app backgrounds where any saturation jolt would break the calm state
  • Journaling apps (Day One, Stoic, gratitude trackers) where the gradient is the canvas for personal writing
  • Evening / night-mode UI where the gradient becomes the visual cue for 'wind down'
  • Onboarding for therapy products, mental health apps, or any product with 'safe space' as a value

Design tips

  • ·Body copy: deep plum (#3A3247) or warm charcoal — pure black is too harsh, mid-grey vanishes
  • ·Avoid placing this gradient on a pure-white page surface — it gets lost. Use it full-bleed or on a tinted neutral
  • ·Pair with hand-drawn illustrations or photography with a 'warm fade' filter — the gradient deserves emotional company
