Choosing a Stream Overlay Color Palette for Your Brand

Color sets the mood before anything else. Here's how to pick a palette that fits your channel and stays readable.

Your palette is the fastest way to set a mood and stay recognizable. You don't have to design it from scratch โ€” pick a pack whose colors already say what you want.

Warm vs cool

Warm tones (amber, pink, lavender) read cozy and inviting; cool tones (teal, deep purple) read calm or mysterious. Browse the shop by feeling.

Keep it readable

High-contrast text over busy color is hard to read. Our packs balance atmosphere with legibility so your alerts and labels stay clear.

Match it everywhere

Carry the palette into panels, emotes and your offline banner. A single pack keeps it all consistent.
