Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (25% to 84%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Melon (#FFBFAF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Pine (#006F81) on #FFBFAF gives 3.71:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Tomato (#F65C52) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Blue Gray (#4AA9C5) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
