- Darkest colour: #FFF1C0 (Blanched Almond, luminance 0.880) — the natural choice for headings.
- Lightest colour: #FFFFFE (White, luminance 0.999) — best used for backgrounds.
- Hue spread: 126° across 3 of 4 colours, which makes this a broad multicolour palette.
- Text recommendation: set type in #FFFFFE on a #FFF1C0 background, and reserve #C7FFF5 for borders, icons or accents.
