  • Background: Bone (#D8DDD8) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
  • Text: Storm (#41726E) on #D8DDD8 gives 3.96:1, enough for large headings only.
  • Primary: Sand (#D8AC63) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
