Why it works and how to use it
Two of the four colors are near-neutral, which leaves room for Oat to lead. Lightness runs from 46% to 86%. Well suited to websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Ice (#C2F3EA) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Gray (#648970) on #C2F3EA gives 3.23:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Oat (#DDD8BC) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Silver (#BEC3B7) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
