Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (40% to 90%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Eggshell (#DCF0DE) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Dove Gray (#706B5C) on #DCF0DE gives 4.45:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Ash (#A6C6AD) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Gray (#6E8982) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
