Colour pairings & usage tips

Use these colours.

Try the oat tone on the largest area, the deeper wood tone on furniture or trim and pale paper on smaller surfaces. Check physical materials in the light where they will be used.

Text & contrast.

Low-chroma surfaces can merge even when their undertones differ. Keep a clearly contrasting colour for labels and controls in digital mockups using this collection.

A pairing to start with.

In Subtle Paprika & Mist, #625D47 against #EFEDE5 has a contrast ratio of 5.64:1. This pair meets the WCAG AA contrast threshold for normal text. This checks opaque colours only; use the contrast checker to review text in a palette preview. Transparency and gradients need their own checks.
