Why it works and how to use it
Two of the four colors are near-neutral, which leaves room for Tan to lead. Lightness runs from 51% to 91%. Well suited to websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Eggshell (#EDE8E4) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Mocha (#95736E) on #EDE8E4 gives 3.48:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Tan (#CEBD90) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Stone (#AD8B95) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
