Make the colors work
More than a set of swatches.
Choose the moment of the sunset
Dawn Peach emphasizes pale warmth, while Aubergine Ember uses a deep evening base. Decide which belongs around your content before combining them. A light and a dark theme can express those two directions without sharing identical role values.
Use a gradient with restraint
Sample a photograph in the image editor and adjust gradient stop positions to keep a useful quiet area. Put body text on a solid panel when the background varies too much to check reliably.
Try it on a real task
In the image editor, keep one warm and one violet sample, then move the gradient stops until one area feels quiet enough for a heading. Use a solid backing for essential controls rather than relying on a favorable point in the gradient.
