Mustard & Sand Dream is a vivid complementary color palette tagged modern, yellow, blue. Near-complementary hues (about 169° apart) make this a high-contrast, attention-grabbing combination. Saturation runs high, so use the brightest color sparingly and let the others carry the surface area. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.

- Text: Dusk (#3F557F) on #CCBF7D gives 4.02:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Mustard (#E1BA00) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
