Colors That Pair Well With Burgundy Pinot
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 #A85C52 on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #A85C52 — a calm secondary that extends the palette without adding tension
a paper-white carrying the palette's own hue — perfect for surfaces and dividers
Using Burgundy Pinot Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #A85C52 for small UI elements on #7A3A34 — at 1.7:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.
- Don't set body copy in #2A100C on #7A3A34 — 2.1:1 fails WCAG AA; keep it for large decorative headings only.
- Don't use #D8A89C behind body text — this light tone works better for surfaces, badges and dividers than for reading areas.
