A little color. A new perspective.

Five colors, endless possibilities. Select a color to copy its HEX.
An industrial repair-kit palette of pale metal, deep green, muted violet, vivid blue, and muted cyan for modular cases, parts trays, and labels.
The feeling
A modular repair case arranged through fitted recesses, removable labels, and stamped diagrams
Explore this palette ↓A metal case opens to reveal every component seated in its own fitted recess. Workshop Light gives the package a clean neutral shell, Fitted Violet organizes the tray, and Replace Blue forms one crisp removable repair strip. Diagram Green carries the printed instructions, while Component Cyan marks the stamped part diagram without turning the kit into a field of warning colors.
The identity comes from modular edges, measured gaps, and solid color planes. The tray, strip, and diagram each have a clear job, giving the package an industrial rhythm that still feels approachable.
Use Workshop Light for 58% of the case and packaging field. Give Fitted Violet 30% to the inner tray and component recesses. Reserve 12% for Replace Blue on the removable repair strip. Apply Diagram Green to headings, part names, instructions, and diagram lines on all three surfaces.
Label the outer plane “Case,” mark the fitted area “Parts tray,” and print “Repair label” on the blue strip. Use Component Cyan for a small stamped component diagram or numbered part marker. Repeat every part number beside its matching recess, and connect each label with a solid rule or keyed outline.
Diagram Green measures 10.95:1 on Workshop Light, 4.75:1 on Fitted Violet, 4.75:1 on Replace Blue, and 4.86:1 on Component Cyan. All four pairings support normal and large text. The tray and blue-strip margins are narrow: use the exact HEX colors at full opacity and measure again after any ink, coating, or display adjustment.
No other color in this palette reaches 4.5:1 on Fitted Violet or Replace Blue, so Diagram Green is the only original-color choice for normal text on those planes. Keep the vivid blue strip concentrated, preserve the written Case, Parts tray, and Repair label text, and use recess shapes and numbered rules to show where each component belongs.
A considered balance
Design industrial repair-kit packaging with Workshop Light at 58% for the case and field, Fitted Violet at 30% for the parts tray, and Replace Blue at 12% for the removable strip. Use exact full-opacity Diagram Green for all text, especially on the violet tray and blue strip. Add a small Component Cyan stamped diagram with written Case, Parts tray, and Repair label labels, numbered parts, and solid connector rules.
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.
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.

Avoid: Keep Diagram Green, Fitted Violet, and Replace Blue at their exact HEX values and full opacity. Their 4.75:1 normal-text margins are narrow, and no other original palette color is a valid normal-text substitute on those surfaces. Use approximately 58% background, 30% primary, and 12% highlight across large surfaces. These ratios are a starting point, not a rigid rule. Use text and accent colors according to their roles. Keep the original HEX values. Choose readable text/background pairings without silently changing the palette. Do not introduce unrelated colors.

Background is the canvas, text is readable copy, primary is a key surface, highlight draws attention, and accent adds small secondary details.

Text/background contrast: 10.95:1. 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.
