Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (45% to 96%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for seasonal campaigns and greeting cards.
- Background: Smoke (#F9F7F3) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Crimson (#E70034) on #F9F7F3 gives 4.41:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Baby Pink (#F3B2C0) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Eucalyptus (#83D4A4) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
