Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (22% to 69%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Saffron (#FBCF64) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Pine (#00705F) on #FBCF64 gives 4.08:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Brass (#9FB100) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Emerald (#4CE26B) for highlights, badges and hover states.
