Why it works and how to use it
Brass & Cocoa Mood is a complementary color palette tagged warm, brown, green. Near-complementary hues (about 137° apart) make this a high-contrast, attention-grabbing combination. Saturation is moderate, which keeps it flexible for both interfaces and print. The overall temperature is warm.
It works because the lightness range is wide (24% to 80%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Celadon (#AEECB1) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Rosewood (#56222E) on #AEECB1 gives 9.27:1, passing WCAG AAA.
- Primary: Cocoa (#916009) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (3.98:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
- Accent: Brass (#A8AC44) for highlights, badges and hover states.
2 of 6 color pairs pass WCAG AA (4.5:1); the strongest is Rosewood on Celadon at 9.27:1.
