Using this palette

Ordered to represent the actual sequence of pre-sunrise light — cool blue-gray first, since that's genuinely the sky's color in the hour before dawn, warming only gradually through the last three swatches as the sun approaches the horizon, which is the reverse emphasis of golden-hour or sunset-gradient's already-warm palettes. #3D4B5C carries text reliably; #7C7E9C is a genuine transitional tone, neither fully cool nor fully warm. Suits meditation/wellness, early-morning routine, or quiet editorial branding wanting the specific calm of first light rather than a full warm sunrise.
