Flat White Colour Palette
The colours of a perfectly made flat white: deep espresso brown, the velvety microfoam of steamed milk, the warm tone of latte art, the natural wood of a café counter, and the clean white of a ceramic cup. This is the palette of independent coffee shops, laptop workers, and the quiet satisfaction of a well-pulled shot. For café brands, food and drink, co-working spaces, lifestyle blogs, and anything that wants to feel like your favourite neighbourhood coffee shop.

Usage guidance
Latte Art is your primary, warm and inviting, use it for headers, primary buttons, and navigation. Steamed Milk or Ceramic White provides your background, choose milk for warmth or white for clean. Café Wood adds depth for secondary elements, borders, and cards. Espresso handles your body text, rich and dark without being harsh. This is a warm, neutral palette that works beautifully with photography and generous white space. Do not rush it. Like a good flat white, it needs time.
