Colors That Pair Well With Scalp Serum
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 #D6CDBE on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #D6CDBE — 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 Scalp Serum Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #D6CDBE for small UI elements on #F6F3EE — at 1.4:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.
- Set body text in #332D24 — 12.3:1 against #F6F3EE passes WCAG AA (AAA) for long-form reading.
- Don't use #A0927F behind body text — this light tone works better for surfaces, badges and dividers than for reading areas.
