Dark Academia color palette

Dark Academia is a 5-colour dark, brown palette combining Onyx, Espresso, Coffee, Camel and Sand. It works especially well for dark-mode interfaces and dramatic, premium visuals, and for heritage branding, editorial layouts and film-inspired photography. Because the colours share a similar hue, the palette feels cohesive — use contrast in lightness to create hierarchy.
