Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its complementary hue relationship and a strong light-to-dark ladder (97% down to 49% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Ivory (#EFFFF2) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Cadet (#599F7B) on #EFFFF2 gives 3.04:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Tulip (#FF8C98) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Melon (#FFABB5) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
