Why it works and how to use it
Tangerine Latte & Tan is a complementary color palette tagged modern, brown, beige. Latte and Slate sit nearly opposite on the color wheel, so the pairing has real energy; keep one as the accent. Neither washed out nor loud, it adapts to most contexts. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.
With 3 chromatic colors, Tan takes the lead while the rest support. Lightness runs from 45% to 97%. Well suited to websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Smoke (#F8F8F8) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Slate (#588B8D) on #F8F8F8 gives 3.6:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Tan (#E6BC89) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Latte (#DB956B) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
