Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (42% to 97%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Snow (#FEF9F1) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Shadow (#778452) on #FEF9F1 gives 3.85:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Melon (#F1BF95) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Sand (#B9C288) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
