Why it works and how to use it
The palette holds together thanks to its split hue relationship and a soft light-to-dark ladder (60% down to 33% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Blush (#CD6789) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Space (#373276) on #CD6789 gives 3.14:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Grape (#643F8C) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Plum (#984E89) for highlights, badges and hover states.
