Why it works and how to use it

The palette holds together thanks to its complementary hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (92% down to 52% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.

  • Background: Linen (#F3EDE4) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
  • Text: Steel Blue (#477DC1) on #F3EDE4 gives 3.63:1, enough for large headings only.
  • Primary: Latte (#D9A57C) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
  • Accent: Sage (#A3B18A) for highlights, badges and hover states.

No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
