Peacock & Sand is a vivid complementary color palette tagged muted, cold, teal. Near-complementary hues (about 147° apart) make this a high-contrast, attention-grabbing combination. Saturation runs high, so use the brightest color sparingly and let the others carry the surface area. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.

- Text: Charcoal (#0A4F5C) on #FBF8F1 gives 8.66:1, passing WCAG AAA.
- Primary: Teal (#177E89) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (4.52:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
- Accent: Oat (#E3D7B8) for highlights, badges and hover states.
