Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its analogous hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (68% down to 31% lightness). A natural fit for menus and packaging.
- Background: Cantaloupe (#FF9E5E) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Sienna (#9C6500) on #FF9E5E gives 2.41:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
- Primary: Caramel (#B89500) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Terracotta (#E26C53) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
