Color Harmony: Triadic Scheme
The Blokette palette is built using a triadic relationship between its hues. This ensures that even with high-contrast accents, the overall scheme feels balanced and intentional.

Colors That Pair Well With Blokette
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.
orange
directly opposite #4169E1 on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
violet
30° beside #4169E1 — a calm secondary that extends the palette without adding tension
tinted neutral
a ink-black carrying the palette's own hue — perfect for surfaces and dividers
Using Blokette Without Breaking Accessibility
- Use #4169E1 for buttons and links — it scores 4.8:1 against the #FFFFFF background (above the 3:1 UI-components threshold).
- Set body text in #1A1A1A — 17.4:1 against #FFFFFF passes WCAG AA (AAA) for long-form reading.
- Don't use #FF69B4 behind body text — this light tone works better for surfaces, badges and dividers than for reading areas.
