Why it works and how to use it
Chestnut & Wine Tale is an analogous color palette tagged winter, muted, warm. Analogous neighbors on the wheel (Wine, Chestnut, Bone) give it a natural, low-tension flow. 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 (30% to 95%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Smoke (#F5F2F1) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Wine (#663537) on #F5F2F1 gives 8.85:1, passing WCAG AAA.
- Primary: Chestnut (#955558) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (5.07:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
- Accent: Bone (#E2DAD5) for highlights, badges and hover states.
3 of 6 color pairs pass WCAG AA (4.5:1); the strongest is Wine on Smoke at 8.85:1.
