Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its analogous hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (69% down to 29% lightness). A natural fit for wellness, organic and outdoor brands.
- Background: Tan (#CDBC93) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Coffee (#6F4A44) on #CDBC93 gives 4.09:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Sienna (#955000) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (3.27:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
- Accent: Marigold (#F3A100) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
