Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (28% to 91%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Periwinkle (#D2D8FF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Cocoa (#915A00) on #D2D8FF gives 4.09:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Apricot (#FFC994) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Cyan (#5CC0DB) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
