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 (88% down to 30% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Eggshell (#DDF0D1) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Fern (#6C6E2A) on #DDF0D1 gives 4.48:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Caramel (#AD8B00) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Pistachio (#A9CD69) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
