Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its analogous hue relationship and a strong light-to-dark ladder (91% down to 41% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Ballet (#FFD6D0) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Shadow (#7F7750) on #FFD6D0 gives 3.39:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Melon (#FFB98A) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Caramel (#D49808) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
