Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness steps are gentle (45% to 88%), which keeps the mood consistent from edge to edge. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Peach (#FFEDC1) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Dove Gray (#657282) on #FFEDC1 gives 4.23:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Melon (#FFAEA9) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Apricot (#FFCDB7) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
