    Berry Oat colors and roles

    Berry Oat brings a dark berry ink to a warm oat page. Medium berry and tan offer two ways to distinguish a feature card; choose their label colors from the matrix below.

    TokenExact sRGB valueSuggested starting role
    --color-1#4C233DPrimary ink
    --color-2#F7F0E4Main surface
    --color-3#9A4F76Action or emphasis candidate
    --color-4#D8BFA3Supporting panel or accent

    The main text and background pair

    Start with #4C233D text on #F7F0E4. At 11.48:1, this pair passes AA and AAA for normal text. Check the other combinations before assigning them to labels or paragraphs.

    Compare all 16 color pairs

    Text / background#4C233D#F7F0E4#9A4F76#D8BFA3
    #4C233D1.00:111.48:12.32:17.37:1

    #D8BFA37.37:11.56:13.17:11.00:1

    Read a row as the text color and a column as its background. Matching colors sit on the diagonal at 1.00:1. Mirrored cells share a ratio but reverse the roles. Focus on the pairs you plan to use; a decorative accent does not have to work as text on every surface.

    Turn the swatches into roles

    • Try #4C233D for text on the #F7F0E4 background.
    • Compare #9A4F76 with the light and dark swatches before using it for a link or button.
    • Choose a measured text color for any label placed on #D8BFA3.
    • Keep a note of which colors serve as body text, headings, backgrounds and decoration.
    :root {
      --color-1: #4C233D;

    }

    Edit the palette and save your files

    Open the palette in the builder to edit, reorder or lock colors. Download CSS for the ordered color tokens, JSON to reopen the palette, or SVG for a swatch card. Keep role notes alongside those files. Switching the app’s light or dark theme leaves the palette values unchanged.
