Harmony and structure
Four hues are spaced around the wheel in two complementary pairs. It is the richest scheme, and the hardest to balance.
In this palette the hues fall in the cyan, violet, red and teal families, spread across 266 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 0.036 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
The strongest pairing is Ivory (#F3F8EE) with Sage (#89AFA1) at a contrast ratio of 2.23:1, which is below the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5:1. Across all 10 possible pairs, 0 reach the 4.5:1 AA level for normal text and 0 more reach 3:1 for large text.
No other palette color reaches 4.5:1 on the background (#F3F8EE), so this page suggests #032018 for text, a darkened Sage that reaches 15.91:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #D6B3A7 and #89AFA1 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #F3F8EE as the background, #CCC2D8 for cards and surfaces, #D6B3A7 as the primary brand color, #C4EBF4 as the accent, and #032018 for text (a computed darker shade of Sage, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Let one hue take most of the space and use the others sparingly. Control the mood with lightness and saturation rather than hue.
