The feeling

An assertive percussion poster of oversized drum circles, taped set lists, and compact ticket details

The mood

Oversized drum circles push through a screen-printed magenta field while taped set lists cut the poster into sharp, useful blocks. Dark ink holds the lineup and doors time, silver paper creates a compact ticket panel, yellow-green strikes like a drum marker, and deep cyan grounds the venue details.

Poster Magenta supplies the main pulse. Setlist Ink carries essential information, Ticket Silver organizes booking, Rim Flash marks one urgent detail, and Stage Cyan gives directions and secondary controls a distinct dark block.

How to use it

Use Poster Magenta for the main event field and Setlist Ink for the event title, lineup, doors time, and key booking copy. Ticket Silver can hold price and ticket details, while Rim Flash suits one booking button, time marker, or oversized drum ring. Reserve Stage Cyan for the venue map, transit note, or a compact directions panel.

Start with a 52/32/16 balance for background, primary, and highlight surfaces, then add text and accent as needed. Repeat circles at different scales, keep the ticket block rectangular and calm, and pair every time or direction cue with written information.

What to watch

Setlist Ink on Poster Magenta measures about 4.90:1, on Ticket Silver about 10.92:1, and on Rim Flash about 10.54:1; all pass normal and large text. Setlist Ink on Stage Cyan measures only about 1.99:1 and fails both sizes. Use original Ticket Silver on Stage Cyan instead, which measures about 5.49:1.

The ink-on-magenta pairing has a limited normal-text margin, so keep it solid and avoid transparency or poster texture behind small copy. Do not make yellow-green and cyan competing booking actions; give each one stable job.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Use Poster Magenta for the event field and Setlist Ink for essential copy. Place booking details on Ticket Silver, give Rim Flash one primary time or ticket action, and use Stage Cyan for directions with Ticket Silver 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 (1.99:1). This example uses Ticket Silver (#D7D9D8) from the same palette instead of #242426 on #075B66, improving contrast to 5.49:1. 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: 4.90:1. 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.
