- Highest contrast: #FFFFD9 against #4BBEB0 at 2.21:1 — the safest pair here for body copy.
- Lowest contrast: #FFFCD5 against #FFFFD9 at 1.02:1 — decorative use only, it does not meet WCAG AA for text.
- Darkest colour: #4BBEB0 (Medium Aqua Marine, luminance 0.415) — the natural choice for headings.
- Lightest colour: #FFFFD9 (Light Yellow, luminance 0.978) — best used for backgrounds.
- Hue spread: 117° across 4 of 4 colours, which makes this a split-complementary palette.
- Text recommendation: set type in #FFFFD9 on a #4BBEB0 background, and reserve #FFFCD5 for borders, icons or accents.
