Why it works and how to use it

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.
