Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (47% to 93%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for social media templates and gentle interfaces.
- Background: Butter (#DFFCA9) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Slate (#70797F) on #DFFCA9 gives 3.94:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Frost (#E8F0F4) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Ash (#AAB5BC) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
