Palette Description

Based on your description of a retro yet modern app focused on second-hand goods, I recommend a color palette that combines the warmth and nostalgia of retro colors with a modern twist. Your purple and light orange are great base colors, and I’ll create a cohesive palette that complements them while aligning with your brand identity.
