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 (95% down to 61% lightness). A natural fit for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Ivory (#FFFBE4) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Vermilion (#F44942) on #FFFBE4 gives 3.43:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Cantaloupe (#FF9B52) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Peach (#FFE1B0) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
