Why it works and how to use it

It works because the lightness range is wide (17% to 68%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.

  • Background: Amethyst (#A95CFF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
  • Text: Charcoal (#004558) on #A95CFF gives 2.84:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
  • Primary: Lapis (#00588E) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
  • Accent: Iris (#5550EB) for highlights, badges and hover states.

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