30° beside #B8902E — 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 Gold Leaf Palace Without Breaking Accessibility

- Don't use #F0E0A8 behind body text — this light tone works better for surfaces, badges and dividers than for reading areas.
