Why it works and how to use it

The palette holds together thanks to its analogous hue relationship and a strong light-to-dark ladder (83% down to 25% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.

  • Background: Melon (#FFA9AC) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
  • Text: Brick Red (#9C0E59) on #FFA9AC gives 4.4:1, enough for large headings only.
  • Primary: Chocolate (#804300) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (4.24:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
  • Accent: Mahogany (#C23B00) for highlights, badges and hover states.

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