The mood

A charcoal rooftop sky holds the page together while pale peach gives each personal note a soft, readable glow. Dusty pink, pale mint, and lavender feel like tabs tucked into a well-used summer journal.

How to use it

Night Page carries navigation, session titles, dates, and longer notes in Rooftop Peach. Place observation-entry cards in Dusty Telescope with Night Page text. When an entry is saved, show a Mint Bookmark panel with a visible “Saved” label and a familiar bookmark icon. Lavender List supports equipment checklists and preparation notes, using charcoal labels and standard checked or unchecked controls. Begin with 54% charcoal, 28% pink, and 18% mint; keep lavender for the checklist and small supporting blocks.

What to watch

Rooftop Peach reaches about 12.28:1 on Night Page but does not suit normal text on Dusty Telescope, Mint Bookmark, or Lavender List at about 2.61:1, 1.03:1, and 2.20:1. Night Page text passes on those colors at about 4.71:1, 11.89:1, and 5.59:1. Each colored card also forms a clear boundary when placed directly on Night Page. Keep pink and lavender cards apart because they differ by only 1.19:1, and identify saved sessions and completed checklist items with text and icons as well as color.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Use Night Page with Rooftop Peach for the journal frame, titles, and long notes. Put observations on Dusty Telescope, saved-session panels on Mint Bookmark, and checklists on Lavender List, all with Night Page text. Place each colored card directly on the charcoal canvas and label saved and checked states.

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 primary
2.61:1 #F5DCCF on #B9788F · Not suitable for text

Recommended text on primary

The original text has low contrast (2.61:1). This example uses Night Page (#202124) from the same palette instead of #F5DCCF on #B9788F, improving contrast to 4.71:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on highlight
1.03:1 #F5DCCF on #BDE7D1 · Not suitable for text

Recommended text on highlight

The original text has low contrast (1.03:1). This example uses Night Page (#202124) from the same palette instead of #F5DCCF on #BDE7D1, improving contrast to 11.89:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on accent
2.20:1 #F5DCCF on #9C91C7 · Not suitable for text

Recommended text on accent

The original text has low contrast (2.20:1). This example uses Night Page (#202124) from the same palette instead of #F5DCCF on #9C91C7, improving contrast to 5.59:1. 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: 12.28:1. 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.
