Why it works and how to use it
Minimal Jade & Linen is a dark, split color palette tagged modern, dark, minimal. A split scheme: Jade plays against Linen across roughly 128° of hue. Saturation is moderate, which keeps it flexible for both interfaces and print. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.
It works because the lightness range is wide (6% to 93%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for dark-mode interfaces and gaming.
- Background: Linen (#F4EEE8) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Obsidian (#0F0F0F) on #F4EEE8 gives 16.65:1, passing WCAG AAA.
- Primary: Jade (#049C65) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (3.07:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
- Accent: Iron (#444444) for highlights, badges and hover states.
3 of 6 color pairs pass WCAG AA (4.5:1); the strongest is Obsidian on Linen at 16.65:1.
