In this palette the hues fall in the green, blue and red families, spread across 231 degrees of the OKLCH hue circle. Soft neutral palettes keep chroma between 0.01 and 0.05, and lightness between 72% and 96%, which is why the set feels consistent.
Temperature and mood
Overall the palette is temperature-balanced: 1 of its 4 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.034 makes the saturation soft.
That combination suits minimal websites, fashion lookbooks and stationery, and it is a good fit when you want a design to feel light, balanced and effortless.
Accessibility and contrast

Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #CEAB9F and #94AC9B may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #FFF2F0 as the background, #CBE1CB for cards and surfaces, #CEAB9F as the primary brand color, #BDC6E1 as the accent, and #0B1F13 for text (a computed darker shade of Taupe, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Choose one hue to dominate, one to support and one for small accents, so the palette stays lively without becoming chaotic.
