A warm summer market palette of ripe tomato red, leaf lime, ivory, pine green, and cool packing blue

The mood

Tomato red spreads across the stall like a striped awning, with warm ivory lettering visible from across the counter. Pale lime product cards suggest tucked leaves, charcoal green gives the purchase steps firm structure, and a cool blue note separates packing information from the produce display.

How to use it

Run the shop header, category field, and open space in Awning Tomato with Market Ivory text. Place each variety name, box-size choice, and quantity control on Leaf Paper using Checkout Pine text. Give pickup date and packing notes their own Packing Blue cards, also with pine text. Reserve Checkout Pine for the cart summary and checkout action; wrap that dark block with an ivory rule before it meets the red canvas. A starting split of 48% tomato, 34% leaf, and 18% pine keeps product choices prominent while the blue remains a compact service note.

What to watch

Market Ivory reads on Awning Tomato at about 5.97:1 and on Checkout Pine at 11.05:1. It does not read on Leaf Paper or Packing Blue at about 1.17:1 and 1.35:1; Checkout Pine works there at about 9.47:1 and 8.16:1. Leaf Paper and Packing Blue are only 1.16:1 apart, so place each separately on the tomato field, where the boundaries are about 5.12:1 and 4.41:1. Checkout Pine is only 1.85:1 against tomato; the proposed Market Ivory rule separates them at 11.05:1 inside and 5.97:1 outside. Keep box size, quantity, pickup date, and checkout state written in text rather than signaled by color alone.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Use Awning Tomato for the stall-wide canvas with Market Ivory headings. Set variety, box-size, and quantity controls on Leaf Paper with Checkout Pine text. Use Packing Blue for pickup and packing notes with pine text. Frame the pine checkout block with Market Ivory before it meets the red canvas.

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
5.97:1 #FFF0D5 on #A92F2B · AA normal text
Text on primary
1.17:1 #FFF0D5 on #DCE7A3 · Not suitable for text

Recommended text on primary

The original text has low contrast (1.17:1). This example uses Checkout Pine (#183A32) from the same palette instead of #FFF0D5 on #DCE7A3, improving contrast to 9.47:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on highlight
11.05:1 #FFF0D5 on #183A32 · AAA normal text
Text on accent
1.35:1 #FFF0D5 on #BFD5DE · Not suitable for text

Recommended text on accent

The original text has low contrast (1.35:1). This example uses Checkout Pine (#183A32) from the same palette instead of #FFF0D5 on #BFD5DE, improving contrast to 8.16:1. 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.

Text/background contrast: 5.97:1. 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.
