About the Halloween (Pumpkin & Night) palette

Halloween palettes are playful and high-contrast: pumpkin orange and electric purple over near-black surfaces. They’re built for bold, short-lived campaigns where drama is the point.

Dark backgrounds let the orange and purple accents glow, which is great for promo pages—just remember dark UI needs careful text contrast to stay readable.

When to use this theme

  • Seasonal promo and event landing pages.
  • Bold CTA sections that want a spooky, energetic mood.
  • Limited-time campaigns where standing out beats subtlety.

Color & contrast tips

  • Use a deep near-black (not pure #000) so glowing accents don’t cause halation.
  • Pair orange and purple thoughtfully—reserve one as primary, the other as support.
  • Keep body text light gray, not pure white, on the dark surfaces.

Frequently asked questions

How do I avoid a dark page feeling unreadable?

Use a slightly tinted near-black background, light-gray body text, and reserve the vivid orange/purple for accents and CTAs rather than long text.

Can I use both orange and purple?

Yes, but assign roles: pick one as the primary action color and use the other for secondary highlights so they don’t compete everywhere.
