A little color. A new perspective.

Circles Catch the Window

Test in Color Lab

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

A dreamy mobile campaign suspends coral-red discs, pink light patches, and muted blue cords over a wine-red field, with pale yellow type guiding product choices.

The feeling

Suspended coral circles and blush light drift across a deep red window scene.

The mood

Imagine a hanging mobile turning slowly above a window ledge. Coral discs cross blush pools of light while blue cords disappear upward, making each overlap feel like a new circle. Window Glow gives the scene a quiet line of pale yellow light against Wine Shadow.

How to use it

Let Wine Shadow cover 45% of the product page as the hero and detail backdrop. Use Turning Disc across 35% for the mobile artwork and arrangement selector, and Light Through Pink across 20% for dimension and care panels. Set Window Glow text only on Wine Shadow. Switch to Wine Shadow text on Turning Disc, Light Through Pink, and Hanging Thread. Use Hanging Thread for cord diagrams and small arrangement markers. Name each hanging arrangement, show dimensions as illustrative fields, and keep care details in their own labeled section.

What to watch

The pale type does not remain readable over the discs, pink panels, or blue details. Use the dark inverse specified for those surfaces. Turning Disc and Hanging Thread are nearly equal in luminance, so surround adjoining selectors with a 2 px Wine Shadow outline. Repeat selected states with a checkmark and written label, and keep translucent overlaps decorative rather than using them to communicate a choice.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Apply Wine Shadow to 45% of the product page, Turning Disc to 35% of the mobile art and selector, and Light Through Pink to 20% of dimensions and care panels. Use Window Glow only as foreground on Wine Shadow at 13.06:1. Use Wine Shadow as foreground on Turning Disc at 5.07:1, Light Through Pink at 11.00:1, and Hanging Thread at 4.96:1. Use a 2 px Wine Shadow outline where the three lighter fills meet. Add written arrangement names and selected-state checkmarks.

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.

Text on background
13.06:1 #F4E6AE on #3D0F1D · AAA normal text
Text on primary
2.58:1 #F4E6AE on #EF5F69 · Not suitable for text

Recommended text on primary

The original text has low contrast (2.58:1). This example uses Wine Shadow (#3D0F1D) from the same palette instead of #F4E6AE on #EF5F69, improving contrast to 5.07:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on highlight
1.19:1 #F4E6AE on #F4C9D2 · Not suitable for text

Recommended text on highlight

The original text has low contrast (1.19:1). This example uses Wine Shadow (#3D0F1D) from the same palette instead of #F4E6AE on #F4C9D2, improving contrast to 11.00:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on accent
2.63:1 #F4E6AE on #7890AA · Not suitable for text

Recommended text on accent

The original text has low contrast (2.63:1). This example uses Wine Shadow (#3D0F1D) from the same palette instead of #F4E6AE on #7890AA, improving contrast to 4.96:1. This meets WCAG AA for 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

Window Glow on Turning Disc is 2.58:1, on Light Through Pink 1.19:1, and on Hanging Thread 2.63:1; each fails both normal- and large-text AA thresholds. Use Wine Shadow instead: it reaches 5.07:1 on Turning Disc, 11.00:1 on Light Through Pink, and 4.96:1 on Hanging Thread, passing normal and large AA. Turning Disc against Light Through Pink is 2.17:1, Light Through Pink against Hanging Thread 2.22:1, and Turning Disc against Hanging Thread 1.02:1. Add a 2 px Wine Shadow outline between these elements; its respective contrast with the three fills is 5.07:1, 11.00:1, and 4.96:1. Do not use transparent overlaps or color alone for arrangement selection.

Text/background contrast: 13.06:1. 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.
