Why it works and how to use it
Two of the four colors are near-neutral, which leaves room for Melon to lead. Lightness runs from 50% to 95%. Well suited to websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Smoke (#E3FFFF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Gray (#818181) on #E3FFFF gives 3.71:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Melon (#FFAF7F) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Honey (#E0961F) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
