Tidal Drift is a blue system with range. It has pale sky, clean mid blues, saturated current, and a deep abyss tone. That range makes it practical: it can support readable UI, data visualization, subtle brand surfaces, and strong hero imagery without adding unrelated accent colors.
Blue palettes are common, so the job is to avoid looking default. Tidal Drift does that through depth. The darkest tone gives the system weight, while the lighter blues provide air and precision.
How to use it
For product pages, let a mesh gradient move from deep blue to pale sky behind screenshots or diagrams. For dashboards, keep the gradient in larger surfaces and use the ramp for states, charts, and supporting UI.
Color story
The palette follows water from reflective surface to open depth. It is calm, but not passive. There is motion in it, which is why it works well for products that explain systems, data, or decisions.
