directly opposite #D8D0C4 on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #D8D0C4 — 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 Pearl Crown Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #D8D0C4 for small UI elements on #F0EAE0 — at 1.3:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.
- Set body text in #5A564C — 6.1:1 against #F0EAE0 passes WCAG AA (AA) for long-form reading.
- Don't use #E8DCD0 behind body text — this light tone works better for surfaces, badges and dividers than for reading areas.
