Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (30% to 80%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Powder Blue (#B6DCE4) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Lapis (#00649A) on #B6DCE4 gives 4.36:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Cadet (#009FBF) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Sky Blue (#75C4D3) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
