Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (7% to 98%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Snow (#FAFAFA) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Licorice (#111111) on #FAFAFA gives 18.09:1, passing WCAG AAA.
- Primary: Scarlet (#FF3B3B) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (3.39:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
- Accent: Iron (#424242) for highlights, badges and hover states.
3 of 6 color pairs pass WCAG AA (4.5:1); the strongest is Licorice on Snow at 18.09:1.
