It works because the lightness range is wide (38% to 97%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Smoke (#FFF0F7) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Burnt Orange (#C46300) on #FFF0F7 gives 3.71:1, enough for large headings only.
