The Gust Opens the Lining
Test in Color Lab
Five colors, endless possibilities. Select a color to copy its HEX.
A dramatic autumn lifestyle-brand palette for an opening raincoat and one concentrated beam across its folded lining.
The feeling
An opening raincoat, strong gust, diagonal coat silhouette, concentrated lining beam, and product-story card
Explore this palette ↓The mood
A raincoat snaps open against a gust, turning its silhouette into one sharp diagonal. A bright beam catches the folded lining for a moment, while a compact story tag records the garment detail.
Gust Green fills the surrounding field, Storm White carries the copy, and Raincoat Violet forms the coat plane. Lining Beam concentrates the light, while Detail Cyan marks the product-story card.
How to use it
Use Gust Green for 62% of the campaign poster, Raincoat Violet for the 27% coat silhouette, and Lining Beam for the 11% folded panel. Keep Detail Cyan to the compact story tag outside the principal ratio.
Storm White reads on Gust Green at 13.95:1 and Raincoat Violet at 5.80:1. It measures 1.09:1 on Lining Beam and 2.24:1 on Detail Cyan, so both pairs fail normal and large text; switch to Gust Green at 12.79:1 and 6.24:1. Write “Coat,” “Lining,” and “Detail,” and pair them with a broad diagonal coat, narrow folded panel, and bordered tag.
What to watch
Keep all five colors opaque and preserve their original HEX values. Show the gust with the coat edge and directional spacing rather than transparent text or faded color planes.
Limit the yellow to one lining panel so the light remains concentrated, and repeat the Detail label inside the cyan card.
A considered balance
Make room for
the right colors.
Use Gust Green for 62% of the poster, Raincoat Violet for the 27% coat, and Lining Beam for the 11% folded panel. Keep Detail Cyan as a compact card. Use Storm White on green and violet, and Gust Green text on yellow and cyan. Label Coat, Lining, and Detail with distinct shapes.
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
Text on highlight
Recommended text on highlight
The original text has low contrast (1.09:1). This example uses Gust Green (#052F12) from the same palette instead of #FFF7F2 on #FFF09A, improving contrast to 12.79:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.
Text on accent
Recommended text on accent
The original text has low contrast (2.24:1). This example uses Gust Green (#052F12) from the same palette instead of #FFF7F2 on #44B8C1, improving contrast to 6.24:1. 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.

Use text and accent colors according to their roles. Text/background contrast: 13.95:1. 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.
