The mood

Imagine an outdoor sculpture program painted across a long turquoise wall. Peach stop numbers interrupt the field like sunlit plinths, while a violet route ribbon turns through the composition and ivory maker notes sit beside each work.

How to use it

Stretch Turquoise Walk across 46% of the program as one architectural canvas, with Plum Map titles and directions. Peach Plinth takes 38% in tall numbered stop columns; use plum numerals and stop names, then outline each column in Route Violet. Give 16% to a continuous Route Violet ribbon with ivory arrows and the visible label “Selected route.” Place Ivory Note as compact maker-note flags directly on turquoise, enclosed by a plum border. This creates a sequence of landmarks rather than a grid of matching cards.

What to watch

Plum Map passes on Turquoise Walk at 6.93:1, Peach Plinth at 6.97:1, and Ivory Note at 15.20:1. It fails on Route Violet at 2.03:1, where Ivory Note passes at 7.50:1. Peach and turquoise are nearly identical in luminance at 1.01:1, so the violet stop-column outline is essential: it reaches 3.44:1 against peach and 3.42:1 against turquoise. Ivory flags reach only 2.20:1 against turquoise; their plum border reaches 15.20:1 inside and 6.93:1 outside. Pair route arrows with the “Selected route” label and number every stop in text.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Use Turquoise Walk as a continuous program field with plum titles. Set tall Peach Plinth columns for numbered stops, each outlined in violet. Run a Route Violet ribbon through the field with ivory arrows and a written selected-route label. Put compact ivory maker-note flags directly on turquoise with plum borders.

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
6.93:1 #29132F on #19B8AE · AA normal text
Text on primary
6.97:1 #29132F on #F28A5B · AA normal text
Text on highlight
2.03:1 #29132F on #5636A8 · Not suitable for text

The original text has low contrast (2.03:1). This example uses Ivory Note (#FFF0D5) from the same palette instead of #29132F on #5636A8, improving contrast to 7.50:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on accent
15.20:1 #29132F on #FFF0D5 · 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

Do not use Plum Map normal text on Route Violet; the pair measures about 2.03:1. Use Ivory Note there at about 7.50:1. Peach Plinth and Turquoise Walk differ by only 1.01:1, so every peach stop column needs a violet outline that passes against both surfaces. Ivory flags on turquoise require a plum border that also passes on both sides.

Text/background contrast: 6.93:1. 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.
