Colour palette for Artsy OSS (general / mobile projects)

[mennenia]

@owendodd already made an initial amazing colour palette.

I'd like to add some lighter and darker shades for contrast, finalise it, and ship it.

So I added some midtones to this palette, and also captured the light blue and light yellow from the gradient. Here they are on different backgrounds:

The idea is that the blues and greys are the colours you can do most things with (the midtones are useful for flat dropshadows etc), and the colours are there for contrast and interest.

Thoughts? @owendodd specifically?

Looks good!! I think maybe just a few minor tweaks and it should be good to go.

The orange feels a bit too intense to me, I think if it was a bit more yellow it would feel more inline with the default gradient. Maybe #FBD756 and #FBECBA would work well?

and then the blues seem a touch too intense to me in the keynote template when used as backgrounds.
Could we switch those to #5FDDF7 #B4F6FC (Dark and mid)

Let me know if those updates are alright with you!

Here's a look at the updates visualised:

I love the blues! They're so perfect now.

I do feel that the bright orange (which is now bright yellow) is a bit too yellow? Maybe making it slightly warmer again? Maybe #FAC855? (top right below)

Okay! @owendodd has signed this off 🎉, so I will:

• Update the keynote themes
• Wrap this into a PDF / Sketch file as a resource for the team
