It works because the lightness range is wide (37% to 95%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Smoke (#F6F9EE) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Basil (#2D916E) on #F6F9EE gives 3.66:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Apricot (#FFC781) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Brass (#A1A859) for highlights, badges and hover states.
