This collection features a harmonious blend of softened hues, including the gentle #C19989, a calming #7E8C8C, and the earthy #A7B28A.

Suggested color roles

secondary

#7E8C8C is excellent for complementary UI elements, secondary calls-to-action, or data visualization, providing a cool contrast.

accent

#9B6F57 should be used sparingly for buttons, icons, or important highlights to add depth and a grounding, antique feel.

background

#EBE3D6 serves as a soft, inviting base for content, providing excellent readability and a gentle, aged paper aesthetic.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between the #EBE3D6 background and any body text. A dark brown or charcoal is recommended for optimal readability.
  • Check contrast ratios carefully when pairing mid-tone colors like #C19989 with #A7B28A, as they may lack distinction for text or small elements.
  • Use #9B6F57 for interactive elements to ensure they stand out clearly against lighter palette colors for better user experience.
  • Avoid using #EBE3D6 for text on #C19989 or #A7B28A backgrounds due to insufficient contrast for most accessibility standards.
