Colour pairings & usage tips
Use these colours.
Olive works as a grounded surface or a heavy accent. Pair it with amber or ochre for a 70s feel, or with cream and a brighter bloom for something fresher.
Text & contrast.
Olive and amber can share the same lightness and merge at small sizes. Keep text to the measured light-dark pair and use olive for shapes, borders and fills rather than labels.
