Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (25% to 79%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Baby Blue (#96BAFE) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Peacock (#005D7F) on #96BAFE gives 3.74:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Teal (#00939A) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Amethyst (#8F7CCD) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
