Colors That Pair Well With Amazon Canopy
Need a fifth color? These three companions are computed from the palette's own hue positions on the color wheel, so they extend the scheme without breaking its harmony.
directly opposite #3A6B3E on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #3A6B3E — a calm secondary that extends the palette without adding tension
a ink-black carrying the palette's own hue — perfect for surfaces and dividers
Using Amazon Canopy Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #3A6B3E for small UI elements on #8FA05E — at 2.2:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.
- Set body text in #1A2E1E — 5.1:1 against #8FA05E passes WCAG AA (AA) for long-form reading.
- Let #5E8A62 carry sidebars, cards and footers — at a mid lightness it separates zones without stealing focus from #3A6B3E.
