Vaporwave color palette explained

The vaporwave color palette pairs #a4ebd1 as its primary hue with #b1cdfb as the accent. The palette is balanced for vaporwave aesthetics while keeping text readable against the surface color.

Every swatch is derived from the same two anchor colors, so the color palette stays harmonious across backgrounds, borders, buttons, and hover states. Copy the CSS below or open it in your favorite tool and apply it immediately.

Use the preview image as a starting point for your own mockups. It shows the exact #a4ebd1 → #b1cdfb gradient applied to a phone screen, a primary button, and a wave pattern so you can see how the vaporwave look plays out in a real interface.
