Colour pairings & usage tips
Use these colours.
Let sage carry a surface or the largest shape and keep the warmer swatch, often clay or terracotta, for a small accent. A cream or off-white partner keeps the whole scheme light.
Text & contrast.
Sage sits in the middle of the lightness range, so neither pale text nor mid-grey text reads well on it. Choose the darkest swatch or a separate ink colour for labels and check that exact pair.
A pairing to start with.
In Quiet Moss & Graphite, #4B4839 against #ACB99F has a contrast ratio of 4.46:1. Use this pair for large text (24px, or about 19px bold); it falls below the normal-text threshold. 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 40–77% OKLCH lightness. Try different colour roles in the palette generator.
