Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its complementary hue relationship and a strong light-to-dark ladder (77% down to 23% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Lilac (#E2A7CE) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Spruce (#1C5952) on #E2A7CE gives 4.1:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Amethyst (#8873B7) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Storm (#456680) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
