Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (42% to 88%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Periwinkle (#C3D8FF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Lapis (#436291) on #C3D8FF gives 4.3:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Dusty Blue (#7CA5D5) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Steel Blue (#6B88B0) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
