The mood

Imagine a row of ticket-shaped workshop slots sliding down a weekly calendar until one clicks into Thursday. Calendar Lavender keeps the page airy, Ticket Gray gives each session a sturdy shape, and Punched Blue adds a small paper-tab detail at the corner.

How to use it

Use Calendar Lavender across 50% of the landing page for the weekly grid and open space. Give 30% to Ticket Gray for workshop cards and the compact sign-up summary, and 20% to Chosen Green for the selected slot and its matching calendar block. Reserve Punched Blue for ticket corners, date tabs, and the primary action. Set Registration Ink on every color: it reaches 12.06:1 on the background, 4.57:1 on Ticket Gray, 5.39:1 on Chosen Green, and 11.75:1 on Punched Blue. Label dates, session choices, and illustrative seat fields directly.

What to watch

The ticket, selected slot, blue tab, and lavender calendar are close in brightness, so give every interactive card and tab a 2 px Registration Ink outline. Keep the punched corners decorative, preserve a visible focus state, and repeat the selected workshop title, date, and session in the sign-up summary. Use text and a checkmark alongside Chosen Green.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Apply Calendar Lavender to 50% of the weekly grid and page field, Ticket Gray to 30% of workshop cards and the sign-up summary, and Chosen Green to 20% of the selected slot and calendar block. Keep Registration Ink as foreground on Calendar Lavender at 12.06:1, Ticket Gray at 4.57:1, Chosen Green at 5.39:1, and Punched Blue at 11.75:1. Use Punched Blue sparingly for ticket corners, date tabs, and the primary action. Add a 2 px Registration Ink outline to interactive cards and tabs, and pair selection with text and a checkmark.

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.

COLOR NOTE

Registration Ink passes normal and large AA on Calendar Lavender at 12.06:1, Ticket Gray at 4.57:1, Chosen Green at 5.39:1, and Punched Blue at 11.75:1; retain this original foreground on every surface. Ticket Gray against Chosen Green is 1.18:1, against Punched Blue 2.57:1, and against Calendar Lavender 2.64:1. Chosen Green against Punched Blue is 2.18:1 and against Calendar Lavender 2.24:1; Punched Blue against Calendar Lavender is 1.03:1. These fail the 3:1 non-text threshold. Use a 2 px Registration Ink outline, which contrasts 4.57:1, 5.39:1, 11.75:1, and 12.06:1 with the respective surfaces. Do not use color alone for selection or session availability.

Text/background contrast: 12.06:1. 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.
