Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its split hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (58% down to 31% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Sand (#C4AD64) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Moss (#74945E) on #C4AD64 gives 1.55:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
- Primary: Brass (#9AA000) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Jade (#4CAF70) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
