Why it works and how to use it
Lime to Teal is a split color palette tagged gradient, cold, green. The hues span about 121°, enough contrast to create a focal point without the harshness of true complements. Neither washed out nor loud, it adapts to most contexts. The overall temperature is cool.
The palette holds together thanks to its split hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (75% down to 38% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Vanilla (#D9ED92) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Steel Blue (#168AAD) on #D9ED92 gives 3.13:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Celadon (#99D98C) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Cadet (#52B69A) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
