Five colors, endless possibilities. Select a color to copy its HEX.
A calm bath-and-body packaging palette with a pale yellow-green shelf, deep violet type, dusty-lavender labels, warm-white directions, and gray separators.
The feeling
A delicate spring shelf of yellow-green glass, dusty lavender labels, warm-white directions, gray bands, and violet type
Explore this palette ↓Frosted glass bottles stand across a pale yellow-green spring shelf. Deep violet names remain crisp on dusty-lavender labels, warm-white panels carry care directions, and neutral gray bands divide each line of information.
Violet Label carries the product type, Spring Shelf sets the collection field, Lavender Bottle identifies each item, Porcelain Directions holds care text, and Bottle Gray separates scent and size details.
Use Spring Shelf for cartons, collection cards, and the display background with Violet Label text. Set product names and scent labels on Lavender Bottle with violet text. Use Porcelain Directions for longer care directions with violet text, and reserve Bottle Gray for separators, caps, and compact size bands with Porcelain Directions text where words appear.
Allocate about 52% to Spring Shelf, 30% to Lavender Bottle, and 18% to Porcelain Directions. The broad yellow-green field keeps the collection seasonal, while the lavender label remains a clear product identifier and the near-white panel supports denser directions.
Violet Label reaches about 12.28:1 on Spring Shelf, 4.92:1 on Lavender Bottle, and 14.22:1 on Porcelain Directions. It measures only about 2.61:1 on Bottle Gray, so use Porcelain Directions text on gray instead; that pairing reaches about 5.45:1.
Lavender Bottle and Spring Shelf reach only about 2.50:1 against each other. Define small labels with a violet rule or generous margin, and keep product name, scent, size, and care directions in a consistent reading order.
A considered balance
Use Spring Shelf for the collection field and Violet Label for text. Apply Lavender Bottle to product and scent labels, Porcelain Directions to care panels, and Bottle Gray to separators, caps, and size bands with Porcelain Directions 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.

Focal areas & key details
Background · Primary · Highlight. Use text and accent colors where their roles call for them.
Recommended text on accent
The original text has low contrast (2.61:1). This example uses Porcelain Directions (#FFF9EC) from the same palette instead of #321E45 on #66666A, improving contrast to 5.45:1. 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: 12.28:1. 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.
