Monochromatic palette
Example: A seafood spot whose logo is one strong navy builds a monochromatic palette from that single hue — a deep navy for headers, a mid-blue for buttons, and a pale ice tint for backgrounds — so the site reads disciplined without ever looking cheap.
one hue, varied in lightness and chroma
A palette built from a single hue rendered at multiple lightness levels — a deep navy paired with a mid-blue, a pale ice, and a near-white tint of the same hue family. The hue stays constant; the lightness and chroma do the work of distinguishing the chips from each other.
Why it matters
The most restrained of the harmony families, and the natural fit for a brand whose logo is already one strong color. Reads as sophisticated and disciplined; rarely reads as cheap. Brand Suite's Workshop offers monochromatic candidates when the uploaded logo is single-color, or when "refined & restrained" mood is selected.
