Where the Neighborhood Reads

[Color guide — coloring.today / where-the-neighborhood-reads]
Apply this palette to the design requested above. Preserve the requested layout, content, and interactions. If an explicit requirement conflicts with this color guide, identify the conflict instead of silently overriding it.

Text: Bookbinding Brown #251A16
Primary: Steel Room #274D68
Highlight: Page Ivory #F3E6CC
Accent: Raspberry Notice #7A2748
Background: Reading Green #86A67D

Mood: A calm summer directory in reading green, dark brown, steel blue, page ivory, and muted raspberry
Suggested uses: Local campaigns
Application note: Use Reading Green with Bookbinding Brown for the directory and filters. Place venue details on Steel Room with Page Ivory text. Use ivory opening-time tags with brown text and frames. Use separate Raspberry Notice cards with ivory text for labeled location selection and event details.
Avoid: Do not use Bookbinding Brown text on Steel Room or Raspberry Notice; the ratios are about 1.90:1 and 1.79:1. Use Page Ivory there at about 7.24:1 and 7.69:1. Frame ivory time labels with brown, and keep blue venue cards separate from raspberry notices.
Use approximately 47% background, 35% primary, and 18% highlight across large surfaces. 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.

Background is the canvas, text is readable copy, primary is a key surface, highlight draws attention, and accent adds small secondary details.

Text/background contrast: 6.27:1. 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.
