Colour pairings & usage tips
Use these colours.
Lavender suits broad, gentle surfaces and illustration fills. A yellow-green or lime partner gives it energy; grey or sage keeps it quiet.
Text & contrast.
Lavender and its partners often sit close in lightness. Use the measured pair for text and keep lilac-on-grey or lilac-on-mint changes for decoration, not labels.
A pairing to start with.
In Misty Pear & Pearl, #6BA753 against #ECEFE3 has a contrast ratio of 2.48:1. 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 67–95% OKLCH lightness. Try different colour roles in the palette generator.
