The mood

A pair of bright skate wheels rests beside an open weekend planner, where acid-green session cards cross an orchid-pink page. A deep violet tab holds the selected meetup, and icy-white checks keep the plan crisp.

Planner Black keeps the schedule clear, Orchid Weekend sets the page, Acid Session groups hobby plans, Violet Wheel marks the active meetup, and Ice Check separates small checklist details.

How to use it

Use Orchid Weekend for the planner canvas and Planner Black for dates, session titles, notes, and navigation. Give Acid Session substantial space for hobby cards and open time blocks. Use Violet Wheel for the selected session or meetup action with Ice Check text, and reserve Ice Check for checklist rows and small inset panels.

Allocate about 40% to Orchid Weekend, 42% to Acid Session, and 18% to Violet Wheel. The nearly equal pink and green areas make the weekly plan feel active, while violet remains the unmistakable selection state. Pair every checklist and meetup state with words or icons as well as color.

What to watch

Planner Black reaches about 5.84:1 on Orchid Weekend, 13.85:1 on Acid Session, and 17.47:1 on Ice Check. It measures only about 1.65:1 on Violet Wheel, so use Ice Check text on violet instead; that reverse pairing reaches about 10.61:1.

Do not repeat violet on every card or use acid green for both normal and completed states. Keep violet tied to the current choice, use a clear checkmark and label for completion, and leave enough pink margin between busy session cards.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Use Orchid Weekend for the planner canvas and Planner Black for readable content. Apply Acid Session to hobby cards and open time blocks, Violet Wheel to the selected session or meetup action, and Ice Check to checklist rows, inset panels, and text on violet.

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.

Text on background

Text on primary

Text on highlight
1.65:1 #161318 on #4D1C8F · Not suitable for text

The original text has low contrast (1.65:1). This example uses Ice Check (#F3FAFF) from the same palette instead of #161318 on #4D1C8F, improving contrast to 10.61:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on accent
17.47:1 #161318 on #F3FAFF · 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: 5.84:1. 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.
