The mood

A perforated corner peels back from a folded biscuit sleeve, releasing a zigzag row of small shapes. One yellow stamp circles the chosen biscuit while a quiet gray edge shows where the package opens.

Sleeve Sky keeps the front airy, Berry Label writes the product-card copy, and Zigzag Green carries the marching shapes. Chosen Stamp marks one focal biscuit, while Perforation Gray gives the tear line a practical material edge.

How to use it

Use Sleeve Sky for 58% of the sleeve front, Zigzag Green for the 28% shape band, and Chosen Stamp for the 14% selected-shape panel. This ratio leaves the package open and cool, gives the biscuit row a strong path, and keeps the yellow choice moment compact. Perforation Gray remains a narrow structural accent outside the principal area ratio.

Set Berry Label on Sleeve Sky at 11.70:1, Chosen Stamp at 9.08:1, and Perforation Gray at 4.90:1. On Zigzag Green, switch to Sleeve Sky text at 5.00:1. Name each option in words such as “Round,” “Star,” or “Zigzag,” and combine the selected label with a stamp outline rather than color alone.

What to watch

Berry Label on Zigzag Green is only 2.34:1 and fails normal and large text. Use Sleeve Sky on the green band at 5.00:1. Keep the gray perforation as a line or tab, not a broad text panel.

The shapes and labels describe an imagined sleeve and product-card concept. Ingredient, allergen, product, and purchase details would need their own verified copy rather than inference from a shape or color.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Use Sleeve Sky for 58% of the sleeve front, Zigzag Green for the 28% biscuit band, and Chosen Stamp for the 14% selected-shape panel; keep Perforation Gray as a narrow edge. Set Berry Label on blue, yellow, and gray, and use Sleeve Sky text on green. Label every shape in words and mark selection with an outline as well as color.

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
11.70:1 #4A1720 on #D7E8F8 · AAA normal text
Text on primary
2.34:1 #4A1720 on #456A30 · Not suitable for text

The original text has low contrast (2.34:1). This example uses Sleeve Sky (#D7E8F8) from the same palette instead of #4A1720 on #456A30, improving contrast to 5.00:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on highlight
9.08:1 #4A1720 on #F3C72E · AAA normal text
Text on accent
4.90:1 #4A1720 on #949691 · AA 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: 11.70:1. 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.
