Colour pairings & usage tips

Use these colours.

Use a gold or saffron swatch for a light-inspired accent, magenta for a smaller flourish and the dark anchor to frame them. These are colour interpretations, not a fixed festival standard.

Text & contrast.

Bright gold and magenta may differ in hue while sharing similar lightness. Put important wording on a measured solid pair rather than across the decorative colours.

A pairing to start with.
