  • Background: Melon (#FFBE95) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
  • Text: Shadow (#897655) on #FFBE95 gives 2.73:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
  • Primary: Brass (#B5B200) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
  • Accent: Basil (#6BAC4D) for highlights, badges and hover states.

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