Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness steps are gentle (15% to 59%), which keeps the mood consistent from edge to edge. Try it for dark-mode interfaces and gaming.
- Background: Sage (#89A689) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Evergreen (#004A3E) on #89A689 gives 3.85:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Sepia (#674A00) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links (3.08:1 against the background, fine for UI elements).
- Accent: Brass (#9BA44B) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
