Colors That Pair Well With Jungle Waterfall
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 #7AA08A on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #7AA08A — 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 Jungle Waterfall Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #7AA08A for small UI elements on #3E7A6A — 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 #14241E on #3E7A6A — 3.2:1 fails WCAG AA; keep it for large decorative headings only.
- Let #2E5A44 carry sidebars, cards and footers — at a mid lightness it separates zones without stealing focus from #7AA08A.
