Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (23% to 73%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for wellness, organic and outdoor brands.
- Background: Salmon (#FF9075) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Sepia (#664910) on #FF9075 gives 3.76:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Sienna (#A25500) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Olive (#9B8D00) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
