Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (29% to 84%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Melon (#FFBAAD) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Fern (#3F6D26) on #FFBAAD gives 3.76:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Moss (#9A8E38) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Camel (#C4976A) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
