Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (23% to 84%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Apricot (#FFC9AC) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Avocado (#397700) on #FFC9AC gives 3.73:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Caramel (#C88C00) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Brass (#BCB600) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
