How to use it

A full-spectrum set for generous, playful graphics. Use the original swatches freely in artwork. The website preview is a separate adaptation with readable text and action colors; open the generator to keep every original swatch exactly.

A starting point for

Posters, identity explorations, illustrations, and expressive digital projects.

Give it structure

Start with #FEF9F8 for the page and #261918 for readable copy. Put secondary content on #F7ECEA. Use #C9352D for the main action, and keep #00DDF4 as a supporting highlight.

A pairing to reconsider

Accent #00DDF4 on background #FEF9F8 has 1.59:1 contrast. It falls short of AA for normal text. Keep it as a fill with a contrasting label, or adjust it in the studio.

These roles are suggestions. Test every actual foreground/background pair, including hover, focus, and disabled states.
