Coral Startup is a vivid complementary color palette tagged tech, modern, minimal. Near-complementary hues (about 167° 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.

Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (16% to 99%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for a SaaS landing page or dashboard.
- Background: White (#FFFDFC) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Raisin (#1F2933) on #FFFDFC gives 14.55:1, passing WCAG AAA.
- Primary: Tomato (#FF6F61) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Almond (#EDE0DB) for highlights, badges and hover states.
3 of 6 color pairs pass WCAG AA (4.5:1); the strongest is White on Raisin at 14.55:1.

Color-blind check: under deuteranopia, White and Almond become hard to tell apart, so do not rely on that pair alone to carry meaning.
