The mood

Golden enamel pieces catch the light beneath a striped summer parasol. Cobalt panels display the cups, coral cards gather the trays, and pale cool gray shows the weave and edging of folded cloths.

Parasol Ink keeps collection details readable, Golden Enamel forms the sunny page field, Cobalt Cup holds drinkware, Coral Tray groups serving pieces, and Cloth Gray supports material close-ups.

How to use it

Use Golden Enamel for the collection canvas with Parasol Ink for headings, prices, and navigation. Set cup cards in Cobalt Cup with Cloth Gray text. Use Coral Tray panels with Parasol Ink text, and reserve Cloth Gray for fabric details, dimensions, and care panels with Parasol Ink text.

Allocate about 45% to Golden Enamel, 35% to Cobalt Cup, and 20% to Coral Tray. The yellow field sets a sunlit collection mood, while the substantial cobalt area makes cups the visual anchor and coral clearly identifies trays.

What to watch

Parasol Ink reaches about 7.04:1 on Golden Enamel, 4.82:1 on Coral Tray, and 13.66:1 on Cloth Gray. It measures only about 2.60:1 on Cobalt Cup, so use Cloth Gray text on cobalt instead; that pairing reaches about 5.25:1.

Cobalt Cup and Coral Tray reach only about 1.85:1 against each other. Separate product panels with golden gutters or dark rules, and label cups, trays, and cloths directly rather than relying on color alone.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Use Golden Enamel for the collection canvas and Parasol Ink for readable content. Apply Cobalt Cup to drinkware cards with Cloth Gray text, Coral Tray to serving-piece cards with Parasol Ink text, and Cloth Gray to fabric detail panels.

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
7.04:1 #241A46 on #D2A62E · AAA normal text
Text on primary
2.60:1 #241A46 on #2457D6 · Not suitable for text

The original text has low contrast (2.60:1). This example uses Cloth Gray (#E7EEF2) from the same palette instead of #241A46 on #2457D6, improving contrast to 5.25:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on highlight
4.82:1 #241A46 on #D66F65 · AA normal text
Text on accent
13.66:1 #241A46 on #E7EEF2 · 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.

Text/background contrast: 7.04:1. 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.
