Tips for trending palette browsing

Trending feeds inspire; your product constraints decide what ships.

1. Treat trends as references: Adapt popular palettes to your audience—do not copy hex values without role mapping.
2. Watch skin tone accuracy: Use skin palettes as starting points; calibrate for lighting, medium, and brand illustration style.
3. Balance rainbow and pastel saturation: Vivid trending sets may need muted variants for long-form reading UI.
