Why it works and how to use it
Hearth is a monochromatic color palette tagged winter, dark, minimal. All four colors sit within 24° of hue, so the scheme reads as one color explored across light and dark. Neither washed out nor loud, it adapts to most contexts. The overall temperature is warm.
With 3 chromatic colors, Paprika takes the lead while the rest support. Lightness runs from 17% to 94%. Well suited to websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Linen (#F4EFEA) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Gunmetal (#2B2B2B) on #F4EFEA gives 12.39:1, passing WCAG AAA.
- Primary: Paprika (#C0392B) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (4.76:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
- Accent: Coffee (#6B4E3D) for highlights, badges and hover states.
