Suggested color roles

primary

Use `#A38C5B` as a versatile, balanced gold for main headings, prominent buttons, or key graphical elements, providing a core sense of aged luxury.

secondary

Apply `#8B7A49` for deeper accents, subheadings, or background elements that require more grounding and a richer, antique feel.

accent

Utilize `#EBCDAB` as a luminous highlight for subtle shine, small decorative details, or hover states, adding a delicate touch of brilliance.

background

Employ `#D5BB8F` for soft, inviting backgrounds that allow darker elements to stand out gracefully, or for large content blocks.

text

For optimal readability, use a deep charcoal or black text on lighter golds like `#D5BB8F` or `#EBCDAB`. For text on darker golds such as `#8B7A49`, consider a light cream or white.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast when pairing lighter golds like `#EBCDAB` or `#D5BB8F` with text; these are generally too light for small text.
  • For text on `#A38C5B`, a dark brown or black will provide better readability than other golds from this palette.
  • The darker shades, such as `#8B7A49`, offer good contrast for white or very light cream text.
  • Avoid using adjacent colors in the palette (e.g., `#D5BB8F` on `#EBCDAB`) for text and background combinations due to low contrast.
