Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (21% to 77%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Flamingo (#F497CA) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Sepia (#694600) on #F497CA gives 4.09:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Sienna (#A44500) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Brick Red (#972A3B) for highlights, badges and hover states.
