Why it works and how to use it

Classic Noel is a vivid complementary color palette tagged warm, red, yellow. Near-complementary hues (about 161° apart) make this a high-contrast, attention-grabbing combination. Saturation runs high, so use the brightest color sparingly and let the others carry the surface area. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.

With 4 chromatic colors, Chili takes the lead while the rest support. Lightness runs from 19% to 87%. Well suited to websites, presentations and branding.

  • Background: Champagne (#F5E6C8) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
