Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its analogous hue relationship and a strong light-to-dark ladder (97% down to 40% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Ivory (#FDFAF0) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Paprika (#D0423B) on #FDFAF0 gives 4.44:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Pearl (#EDE6C3) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Shadow (#767D50) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
