Soft colour, clear voice
Sorbet
Sorbet is for small brands that want to feel friendly without looking casual. Whole sections sit on flat pastel fields, headlines are set in a typewriter-cut serif, and the navigation runs in a ruled row under a centred wordmark. As a visitor scrolls, each colour field warms or cools a shade, so the page feels alive without anything jumping around.
01 / Character
How Sorbet looks and reads
- Flat pastel colour fields that shift a shade as each section scrolls through
- A centred serif wordmark above a ruled row of navigation links
- Typewriter-cut serif headings paired with a clean sans for reading
- Rounded pill buttons and hairline rules instead of boxes and shadows
How the page flows
Sorbet reads best when cream sections alternate with colour fields. Open on a coloured hero, follow with a cream introduction, then give services or a testimonial their own field so each change of colour marks a new part of the story.
02 / Fit
Businesses that suit it
- Hair, beauty, and nail studios
- Florists, bakeries, and small makers

04 / Make it yours
Shape the mood around your brand
- Blush is the default. Hydrangea is cooler, Pistachio is fresh and green, and Merlot is a dark oxblood option.
- Use the accent palette for one or two sections per page. Every section in colour loses the rhythm that makes the fields stand out.
- Wrap a word of a heading in italics to echo the theme's editorial voice.
05 / Every screen
Clear, comfortable, and easy to use
- Text on every pastel field uses the palette's deep ink, so headings and body copy stay easy to read.
- The colour shift on scroll only moves between shades that keep the same text readable, and it stops for visitors who ask for reduced motion.
- Phone layouts keep the same reading order, and the navigation folds into a menu.
06 / FAQ
Sorbet questions
- Does the background colour change as visitors scroll?
- Yes. Each section's colour field moves a shade warmer or cooler as it passes through the window. Visitors who turn on reduced motion, or sites that set motion to off, see still colours.
- Does Sorbet include a dark option?
- Yes. Merlot sets cream text on deep oxblood, with pink fields and buttons. The other palettes use light backgrounds.
- Which colour palette does Sorbet start with?
- Blush is the starting colorway: soft pink fields, a cream page and deep plum text.
