Why it works and how to use it
Deep Skin is a dark, monochromatic color palette tagged skin tone, dark, muted. All four colors sit within 3° of hue, so the scheme reads as one color explored across light and dark. Neither washed out nor loud, it adapts to most contexts. The overall temperature is warm.
It works because the lightness range is wide (13% to 66%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for wellness, organic and outdoor brands.
- Background: Latte (#CB9C85) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Raisin (#2F1E15) on #CB9C85 gives 6.55:1, passing WCAG AA.
- Primary: Cedar (#7E4F32) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Shadow (#8B6B59) for highlights, badges and hover states.
1 of 6 color pairs pass WCAG AA (4.5:1); the strongest is Latte on Raisin at 6.55:1.
