Refill beside the Fluted Stopper

Test in Color Lab

Five colors, endless possibilities. Select a color to copy its HEX.

A pale cyan bottle and fluted stopper sit across a soft violet reflection, with a garnet label holding the center of the composition. A light green strip leads from the bottle diagram to a neatly ordered refill sequence.

Beauty packaging

The feeling

Pale glass, garnet depth, and a restrained green refill cue settle into a violet packaging composition.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Apply Violet Reflection to 46% of the packaging and product-page field, Glass Mist to 34% of bottle silhouettes and information panels, and Fragrance Garnet to 20% of bottle faces and section anchors. Use Inked Measure on Violet Reflection at 5.05:1, Glass Mist at 13.30:1, and Refill Leaf at 11.67:1; all pass normal and large AA. Use Glass Mist on Fragrance Garnet at 7.17:1, passing normal and large AAA. Reserve Refill Leaf for refill steps or a secondary action. Use Inked Measure outlines around pale cyan and green forms; use the specified two-color edge where garnet meets violet.

Start with a generous background, introduce your primary color, then use the highlight sparingly. The ratios are a guide for large surfaces, not a fixed recipe.

Background · Primary · Highlight. Use text and accent colors where their roles call for them.

Text on background
5.05:1 #17161A on #9B7DA8 · AA normal text
Text on primary
13.30:1 #17161A on #BFE5E1 · AAA normal text
Text on highlight
1.85:1 #17161A on #7A2638 · Not suitable for text

The original text has low contrast (1.85:1). This example uses Glass Mist (#BFE5E1) from the same palette instead of #17161A on #7A2638, improving contrast to 7.17:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on accent
11.67:1 #17161A on #BFD8A8 · AAA normal text

Contrast is calculated for these specific pairs. Large text means at least 24 px regular or about 18.7 px bold. Check every pairing in your final design.

COLOR NOTE

Inked Measure on Fragrance Garnet is 1.85:1 and fails both normal- and large-text AA thresholds. Use Glass Mist on Fragrance Garnet at 7.17:1, passing normal and large AAA. Glass Mist against Refill Leaf is 1.14:1, against Violet Reflection 2.63:1, and Refill Leaf against Violet Reflection 2.31:1; each fails the 3:1 non-text threshold. A 2 px Inked Measure outline contrasts 13.30:1 with Glass Mist, 11.67:1 with Refill Leaf, and 5.05:1 with Violet Reflection. Fragrance Garnet against Violet Reflection is 2.73:1; separate that boundary with a double edge: 2 px Glass Mist beside Fragrance Garnet at 7.17:1 and 1 px Inked Measure beside Violet Reflection at 5.05:1.

Text/background contrast: 5.05:1. This is one measured pair, not a guarantee for the whole palette. Check every actual text/background pairing against WCAG AA. Prefer readable combinations from the original colors, keep visible keyboard focus, and never communicate state through color alone. If no original pairing meets the requirement, propose a separately labeled derived color with its original HEX, proposed HEX, purpose and measured contrast. Never overwrite the source palette.

This guide preserves the original HEX values. Review the output before using it.
