  • Background: Oat (#E7D6BE) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
  • Text: Shadow (#8B7159) on #E7D6BE gives 3.21:1, enough for large headings only.
  • Primary: Putty (#D1BA9D) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
  • Accent: Camel (#B3977A) for highlights, badges and hover states.

No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
