Suggested color roles

primary

Use #8B4513 as a strong primary for headers, navigation, or key elements to ground the design with a rich, woody feel.

secondary

Employ #A0522D for secondary accents, buttons, or subheadings, offering a warm contrast to the primary brown.

accent

Introduce #B08060 for subtle accents, decorative elements, or as a background for lighter text, adding a soft, natural texture.

background

The light and airy #F5DEB3 works perfectly as a main background color, providing a clean, warm canvas that allows other colors to shine.

text

For body text, a dark brown like #8B4513 or a deep charcoal offers excellent readability on #F5DEB3. Use #C8A88B for less critical text on darker backgrounds.

Accessibility notes

Ensure sufficient contrast for text, especially when pairing mid-tones like #B08060 or #C8A88B with other similar shades.
Always test readability for text set in #C8A88B or #F5DEB3 on any background other than a very dark one.
Darker browns like #8B4513 and #A0522D provide good contrast for light text (e.g., white or #F5DEB3).
Avoid using #F5DEB3 for small text unless on a very dark contrasting background.
