The mood

Paper kites cross a rich purple poster like bright shapes in a spring sky. Green panels bring the activity list forward, peach holds the gathering point, and a dark-brown footer gives the sign-up details a grounded finish.

Kite Lemon carries the main poster text. Royal Sky sets the campaign field, Field Green holds activities, Meeting Peach marks where to gather, and String Brown anchors sign-up information.

How to use it

Use Royal Sky for posters and the event-page canvas with Kite Lemon for the event title, date, and navigation. Set activity names and schedule blocks on Field Green with String Brown text.

Use Meeting Peach for the meeting-point card with String Brown text. Place sign-up details in a String Brown footer with Kite Lemon lettering and a peach top rule. The 52/31/17 surface balance keeps purple dominant, gives the activity schedule useful space, and makes the meeting point easy to isolate.

What to watch

Kite Lemon reaches about 9.87:1 on Royal Sky and 15.51:1 on String Brown. It does not pass on Field Green at about 1.88:1 or Meeting Peach at 1.39:1. Use String Brown text there instead, at about 8.26:1 and 11.19:1.

String Brown and Royal Sky are only about 1.57:1 apart, below the 3:1 non-text threshold for the footer boundary, so keep the peach rule or spacing. Field Green and Meeting Peach are about 1.35:1, so activity and meeting-point cards also need labels and separation rather than color alone.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Use Royal Sky for the campaign canvas with Kite Lemon for main text. Use Field Green for activities and Meeting Peach for the meeting point, both with String Brown text. Use String Brown for the sign-up footer with Kite Lemon lettering and a peach boundary.

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.

Text on background
9.87:1 #FFF3A6 on #4A218C · AAA normal text
Text on primary
1.88:1 #FFF3A6 on #58C95A · Not suitable for text

The original text has low contrast (1.88:1). This example uses String Brown (#25160F) from the same palette instead of #FFF3A6 on #58C95A, improving contrast to 8.26:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on highlight
1.39:1 #FFF3A6 on #F5C5A8 · Not suitable for text

The original text has low contrast (1.39:1). This example uses String Brown (#25160F) from the same palette instead of #FFF3A6 on #F5C5A8, improving contrast to 11.19:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on accent
15.51:1 #FFF3A6 on #25160F · 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: 9.87:1. 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.
