Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its split hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (75% down to 32% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Lilac (#D5A8BC) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Cedar (#923B0F) on #D5A8BC gives 3.56:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Chestnut (#A34E54) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Stone (#AB7FAE) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
