Why it works and how to use it

Boardwalk is a vivid complementary color palette tagged summer, blue, white. Near-complementary hues (about 175° apart) make this a high-contrast, attention-grabbing combination. Saturation runs high, so use the brightest color sparingly and let the others carry the surface area. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.

With 4 chromatic colors, Cyan takes the lead while the rest support. Lightness runs from 41% to 92%. Well suited to websites, presentations and branding.

  • Background: Linen (#F5F0E1) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
  • Text: Ocean (#0582CA) on #F5F0E1 gives 3.65:1, enough for large headings only.
  • Primary: Cyan (#00A6FB) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
  • Accent: Cantaloupe (#F4A261) for highlights, badges and hover states.

No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
