Why it works and how to use it

The palette holds together thanks to its analogous hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (82% down to 48% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.

  • Background: Wheat (#EAE2B7) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
  • Text: Cherry (#D62828) on #EAE2B7 gives 3.83:1, enough for large headings only.
  • Primary: Tangerine (#F77F00) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
  • Accent: Saffron (#FCBF49) for highlights, badges and hover states.

No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
