Why it works and how to use it

Emerald & Celadon Drift is a vivid split color palette tagged gradient, modern, cold. A split scheme: Teal plays against Celadon across roughly 81° of hue. Saturation runs high, so use the brightest color sparingly and let the others carry the surface area. The overall temperature is cool.

The palette holds together thanks to its split hue relationship and a strong light-to-dark ladder (74% down to 27% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.

Background: Celadon (#ACE496) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
Text: Teal (#00818A) on #ACE496 gives 3.17:1, enough for large headings only.
Primary: Cadet (#009D8C) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
Accent: Emerald (#31CA88) for highlights, badges and hover states.

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