Five colors, endless possibilities. Select a color to copy its HEX.
An elegant spring bakery palette of clear cyan, dark berry ink, pale violet, soft neutral, and deep green. Designed for pastry gift boxes, precise ribbon folds, ingredient cards, and pickup labels.
The feeling
A precise spring pastry box with crisp ribbon folds, one fruit tart, a narrow ingredient card, and a calm pickup label
Explore this palette ↓A folded ribbon crosses a clear cyan pastry box, framing one fruit tart and a narrow ingredient card with measured space around every detail. Berry Type brings a refined red note to the lettering, Gift Violet separates the message card, and Pickup Porcelain keeps the collection label quiet and exact.
Ribbon Leaf gives the folded band a deep green edge while Box Cyan makes the package feel fresh and structured. The restrained layout keeps the tart as the focal object and leaves the pickup label clear.
Use Box Cyan across the gift-box field with Berry Type for the product name, ingredient headings, and pickup details. Place a short gift note on Gift Violet and use Pickup Porcelain for the narrow ingredient or collection label. Treat Ribbon Leaf as a dark ribbon surface with Pickup Porcelain text.
Begin with a 58/29/13 balance for background, primary, and highlight surfaces, then add text and accent as needed. Keep ribbon folds crisp, align the ingredient card to the tart, and repeat pickup time and name in plain text rather than encoding them only by color.
Berry Type on Box Cyan measures about 5.96:1, on Gift Violet about 9.29:1, and on Pickup Porcelain about 11.41:1; all pass normal and large text. Berry Type on Ribbon Leaf measures only about 1.41:1 and fails both sizes. Use original Pickup Porcelain text on Ribbon Leaf instead, which measures about 8.10:1.
Keep Box Cyan, Gift Violet, and Pickup Porcelain as solid surfaces behind small copy. Reserve the dark green for the ribbon and compact seals so it supports the fold composition without becoming a second background.
A considered balance
Use Box Cyan for the package field with Berry Type. Place gift copy on Gift Violet and ingredients on Pickup Porcelain, then use Ribbon Leaf as a folded ribbon surface with Pickup Porcelain text.
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.

Recommended text on accent
The original text has low contrast (1.41:1). This example uses Pickup Porcelain (#EBEAE8) from the same palette instead of #4B2024 on #214C39, improving contrast to 8.10:1. 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.

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.
