How to use it

Lilac, layered from chalky light to inky violet. 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

Illustration, packaging, stationery, and gentle digital experiences.

Give it structure

Start with #FBF9FE for the page and #1F1B25 for readable copy. Put secondary content on #F0EDF5. Use #71697C for the main action, and keep #BACC9E as a supporting highlight.

A pairing to reconsider

Accent #BACC9E on background #FBF9FE has 1.64:1 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.
