Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness steps are gentle (39% to 61%), which keeps the mood consistent from edge to edge. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Latte (#C7A771) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Clay (#A8675E) on #C7A771 gives 1.93:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
- Primary: Tangerine (#EA8433) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Brass (#AFA818) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
