Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its split hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (87% down to 75% lightness). A natural fit for seasonal campaigns and greeting cards.
- Background: Almond (#EDE2D1) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Tulip (#FD9C8C) on #EDE2D1 gives 1.59:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
- Primary: Celadon (#BEEAAC) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Oat (#E3D199) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
