The Harvest Band Opens
Test in Color Lab
Five colors, endless possibilities. Select a color to copy its HEX.
An earthy spring food-commerce palette of packing paper, spore-violet ink, moss green, harvest ochre, and bark red.
The feeling
A paper harvest band opens around a shallow mushroom tray while a small preparation card folds beside the box
Explore this palette ↓The mood
A shallow Moss Tray holds an assortment of mushroom caps against a quiet Packing Paper field. A Harvest Band crosses the box with the batch name, while Spore Ink gives the listing its careful, hand-packed character.
Folded Bark shapes the small preparation card beside the tray. Harvest, Contents, and Prepare remain written as clear labels, supported by paper folds, ruled dividers, and generous spacing.
How to use it
Use Packing Paper for the listing background with Spore Ink for titles, prices, and product details. Build the tray and contents panel in Moss Tray with Spore Ink text.
Use Harvest Band for the batch strip with Spore Ink text. Treat Folded Bark as the dark preparation-card surface with Packing Paper text. The 62/25/13 ratio means 62% Packing Paper background, 25% Moss Tray primary surfaces, and 13% Harvest Band highlight; Folded Bark remains outside the surface split as the compact preparation card.
What to watch
Spore Ink reaches 16.42:1 on Packing Paper, 10.40:1 on Moss Tray, and 5.28:1 on Harvest Band. It reaches only 1.80:1 on Folded Bark, so that pairing fails normal- and large-text AA. Use Packing Paper on Folded Bark instead at 9.14:1.
Keep every color solid and fully opaque. Separate Harvest, Contents, and Prepare with written headings and folded-paper geometry, and avoid making color a substitute for product information.
A considered balance
Make room for
the right colors.
Use Packing Paper as the listing field with Spore Ink text. Build Moss Tray as the box and contents panel with Spore Ink, apply Harvest Band to the batch strip with Spore Ink, and set the compact Folded Bark preparation card with Packing Paper text. Preserve solid, full-opacity original HEX values and a 62/25/13 background-primary-highlight surface ratio.
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.

The original text has low contrast (1.80:1). This example uses Packing Paper (#F5F5F4) from the same palette instead of #1D141F on #5A3A3C, improving contrast to 9.14:1. 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.

Preserve solid, full-opacity original HEX values and a 62/25/13 background-primary-highlight surface ratio. Avoid: Spore Ink fails normal- and large-text AA on Folded Bark at 1.80:1.

These ratios are a starting point, not a rigid rule. Use text and accent colors according to their roles. Keep the original HEX values. Choose readable text/background pairings without silently changing the palette. Do not introduce unrelated colors.

These ratios are a starting point, not a rigid rule. Use text and accent colors according to their roles. Text/background contrast: 16.42:1. 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.
