How to use it

Blue-gray silhouettes under a winter sky. 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

Editorial layouts, identity systems, and restrained graphic work.

Give it structure

Start with #F7FBFE for the page and #141E25 for readable copy. Put secondary content on #E8F0F6. Use #203C4D for the main action, and keep #E5BA9C as a supporting highlight.

A pairing to reconsider

Accent #E5BA9C on background #F7FBFE has 1.71:1 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.
