30° beside #7A4A9A — 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 Singapore Gardens Without Breaking Accessibility

- Set body text in #F0F4E8 — 4.8:1 against #1A7A4A passes WCAG AA (AA) for long-form reading.
- Let #1A8A8A carry sidebars, cards and footers — at a mid lightness it separates zones without stealing focus from #7A4A9A.
