directly opposite #6E8A7A on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #6E8A7A — 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 Jack Pine Fog Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #6E8A7A for small UI elements on #3E5A4A — at 2.0:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.

- Don't use #A8B0A8 behind body text — this light tone works better for surfaces, badges and dividers than for reading areas.
