I used the Neptunian theme for all of the icons and palette pair 7 on some of the icons (but not perfectly matched).

The Little Mermaid (2023) // Aquaman 2 // Lilo & Stitch (2025) // Moana (2026) // Moana (2016) x 2 // Disney Junior's Ariel

The new theme is...
🐚🧜🏽‍♂️✨ MerMay 2026 ✨🧜🏼‍♀️🐳

For this year's MerMay inspired challenge, I made some all new color palettes using Coolors, from The Little Mermaid and other Disney faves. The other part of the challenge is an oceanic theme throwback.
