White Tonal color palette
White Tonal is a muted light, neutral-based color palette tagged monochrome, minimal, white. White is the only saturated color here, so it does all the talking against a neutral base. Every color is softened, so it works well as a background system for text-heavy layouts.

Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (35% to 100%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: White (#FFFFFF) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Umber (#5A5A5A) on #FFFFFF gives 6.9:1, passing WCAG AA.
- Primary: Ice (#E4E4E4) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Lavender Gray (#CACACA) for highlights, badges and hover states.
