Colors That Pair Well With Mountain Dew Voltage
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 #0E7FC9 on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #0E7FC9 — 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 Mountain Dew Voltage Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #0E7FC9 for small UI elements on #B7E300 — at 2.9:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.
- Don't set body copy in #FFFFFF on #B7E300 — 1.5:1 fails WCAG AA; keep it for large decorative headings only.
- Let #003A70 carry sidebars, cards and footers — at a deep lightness it separates zones without stealing focus from #0E7FC9.
