Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its monochromatic hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (94% down to 50% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Frost (#DFEEFF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Steel Blue (#5B83A4) on #DFEEFF gives 3.41:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Baby Blue (#9DC3ED) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Dusty Blue (#89A7BD) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
