Colour pairings & usage tips

Use these colours.

Use the yellow tint for a small focal shape and let mint or lilac support the seasonal illustration. Leave a pale neutral area for any wording around the artwork.

Text & contrast.

Pastel yellow, lilac and mint often sit close in lightness. Use a separately checked dark foreground for text rather than lettering in one pastel over another.

A pairing to start with.

In Oat Whisper, #DBD4C5 against #F9FCF9 has a contrast ratio of 1.43:1. Keep this pair decorative and choose a higher-contrast foreground for text. This checks opaque colours only; use the contrast checker to review text in a palette preview. Transparency and gradients need their own checks.

The five swatches span 87–99% OKLCH lightness. Try different colour roles in the palette generator.
