3-color palette · hex codes and a ready-to-copy AI image prompt
- Reel Green
- #3EDC8A
- Signal Blue
- #2F6BFF
- Carbon
- #0B0B0F
Two mid-value brights read as almost the same lightness, so they blur when placed together on white; drop them onto a near-black and each one gains its own edge and the green-to-blue transition reads as a gradient rather than a clash. Carbon also lets both colours stay fully saturated without the layout getting loud. The pairing follows Instagram's first brand refresh in ten years, which introduced an inverted green-and-blue-on-black gradient for deeper feature layers, and echoes the acid-brights-on-dark direction social creators have been using all year.
