Colors That Pair Well With Rego Park
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 #C8905C on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #C8905C — 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 Rego Park Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #C8905C for small UI elements on #B8A890 — at 1.2:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.
- Set body text in #2E2418 — 6.5:1 against #B8A890 passes WCAG AA (AA) for long-form reading.
- Let #8E8E6E carry sidebars, cards and footers — at a mid lightness it separates zones without stealing focus from #C8905C.
