Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (11% to 100%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: White (#FFFFFF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Ink (#111827) on #FFFFFF gives 17.74:1, passing WCAG AAA.
- Primary: Jade (#059669) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (3.77:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
- Accent: Ice (#E2E6E3) for highlights, badges and hover states.
3 of 6 color pairs pass WCAG AA (4.5:1); the strongest is White on Ink at 17.74:1.
