Why it works and how to use it

The palette holds together thanks to its complementary hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (70% down to 29% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.

  • Background: Tan (#CEBC96) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
  • Text: Cranberry (#A30000) on #CEBC96 gives 4.4:1, enough for large headings only.
  • Primary: Chili (#C4001A) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (3.35:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
  • Accent: Lapis (#0E5C84) for highlights, badges and hover states.

No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
