Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its split hue relationship and a strong light-to-dark ladder (99% down to 52% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: White (#FDFDFD) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Emerald (#71C860) on #FDFDFD gives 2.04:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
- Primary: Gold (#FFD23F) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Eucalyptus (#3BCEAC) for highlights, badges and hover states.
