Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (33% to 85%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for premium branding and packaging.
- Background: Peach (#FFEAB0) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Olive (#A18605) on #FFEAB0 gives 2.98:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
- Primary: Brass (#BEAC00) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Saffron (#EBC96E) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
