The feeling

A folded paper kite drifts through an open sky aperture while one suspended thread anchors the campaign caption

The mood

A folded kite drifts above the roofline while a single opening reveals brighter sky. Rooftop Air creates the pale green field, and Thread Violet gives the small campaign caption and controls a firm, readable anchor.

Folded Berry forms the kite’s central paper plane. Sky Aperture opens a vivid cyan window, while Suspended Ochre draws the thread toward the roof. Solid overlapping shapes suggest translucency without placing essential text on blended color.

How to use it

Use Rooftop Air for the campaign field with Thread Violet for headlines, captions, and control labels. Treat Folded Berry as the central kite-panel surface and use Rooftop Air for any text placed on it.

Reserve Sky Aperture for the cutout or one campaign action, using Thread Violet text. Use Suspended Ochre as a narrow thread or compact caption panel with Rooftop Air text. Begin with a 59/28/13 split across background, primary, and highlight surfaces.

What to watch

Thread Violet reaches 11.47:1 on Rooftop Air and 6.77:1 on Sky Aperture. It reaches only 2.25:1 on Folded Berry and 2.01:1 on Suspended Ochre, so both fail normal- and large-text AA. Use Rooftop Air instead at 5.10:1 on Folded Berry and 5.70:1 on Suspended Ochre.

Keep essential text on solid, full-opacity colors. Pair campaign controls with written labels, preserve the thread as a narrow line, and let scale and spacing carry the floating motion.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Use Rooftop Air for the campaign field with Thread Violet text. Treat Folded Berry as a kite-panel surface with Rooftop Air text. Use Sky Aperture with Thread Violet. Use Suspended Ochre as a narrow thread or panel with Rooftop Air. Keep the original HEX colors fully opaque and begin with a 59/28/13 surface split.

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
11.47:1 #351B45 on #D6E6C5 · AAA normal text
Text on primary
2.25:1 #351B45 on #944150 · Not suitable for text

The original text has low contrast (2.25:1). This example uses Rooftop Air (#D6E6C5) from the same palette instead of #351B45 on #944150, improving contrast to 5.10:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on highlight
6.77:1 #351B45 on #22BFD0 · AA normal text
Text on accent
2.01:1 #351B45 on #67521E · Not suitable for text

The original text has low contrast (2.01:1). This example uses Rooftop Air (#D6E6C5) from the same palette instead of #351B45 on #67521E, improving contrast to 5.70:1. 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: 11.47:1. 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.
