Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its split hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (58% down to 23% lightness). A natural fit for dark-mode interfaces and gaming.
- Background: Sage (#88A680) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Avocado (#637700) on #88A680 gives 1.87:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
- Primary: Jade (#00A866) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Teal (#527F73) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
