Colors That Pair Well With Odin Raven
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 #5C5C4A on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #5C5C4A — 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 Odin Raven Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #5C5C4A for small UI elements on #2E2A1E — at 2.1:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.
- Don't set body copy in #0E0E0A on #2E2A1E — 1.4:1 fails WCAG AA; keep it for large decorative headings only.
- Let #8E8E7A carry sidebars, cards and footers — at a mid lightness it separates zones without stealing focus from #5C5C4A.
