The mood

Imagine wool offcuts arranged on a deep olive work cloth, with oat thread passing through a repaired seam. Tobacco-gold fabric brings warmth, while brick red and dusty mauve pick out the careful marks left by handwork.

Oat Thread carries the message, Workroom Olive grounds the page, Tobacco Wool frames garment details, Brick Stitch marks a repair step, and Faded Mauve adds a softer material note.

How to use it

Use Workroom Olive for the page canvas and Oat Thread for headings, descriptions, navigation, and booking details. Tobacco Wool can frame close-up fabric photographs or repair-option cards. Use Brick Stitch for the current booking step and Faded Mauve for tags, dividers, or small textile diagrams.

Begin with 57% Workroom Olive, 30% Tobacco Wool, and 13% Brick Stitch across major surfaces. Add mauve sparingly around fabric details. Pair every repair option and booking state with a label or icon as well as color.

What to watch

Oat Thread on Workroom Olive reaches about 9.80:1 and on Tobacco Wool about 5.03:1. It measures only about 3.70:1 on Brick Stitch and 3.37:1 on Faded Mauve, so keep pale copy off those two colors. Place labels on olive or tobacco surfaces and use brick and mauve for marks, borders, and non-text indicators.

Do not turn every fabric photograph into an olive overlay or let brick and mauve compete at the same scale. Keep texture visible, give booking details a steady reading surface, and let the repaired seam remain the visual focus.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Use Workroom Olive for the page canvas and Oat Thread for readable content. Apply Tobacco Wool to fabric-photo frames and repair cards, Brick Stitch to the current booking step, and Faded Mauve to tags, dividers, and textile diagrams.

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
9.80:1 #F2E6CF on #343822 · AAA normal text
Text on primary
5.03:1 #F2E6CF on #80592A · AA normal text
Text on highlight
3.70:1 #F2E6CF on #B75B45 · AA large text only

Best available text on highlight

The original text has low contrast (3.70:1). This example shows the strongest available pair: Oat Thread (#F2E6CF) on #B75B45 at 3.70:1. It still falls below 4.5:1 for normal text. Use a different background to meet that contrast requirement.

Text on accent
3.37:1 #F2E6CF on #9A7180 · AA large text only

Best available text on accent

The original text has low contrast (3.37:1). This example shows the strongest available pair: Oat Thread (#F2E6CF) on #9A7180 at 3.37:1. It still falls below 4.5:1 for normal text. Use a different background to meet that contrast requirement.

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.

Text/background contrast: 9.80:1. 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.
