Olive & oat on a real website
Colorit's example site restyled with this palette. Balanced keeps surfaces close to the background; Expressive tints cards and sections with the accent. Your own site looks different: capture it to see.
Readable by design
Colorit turns the five colors into a full theme and checks each text pair. Ratios of 4.5:1 and above meet WCAG AA for body text.
| Pair | Contrast |
|---|---|
| Text on background | 12.8:1 |
| Muted text on background | 5.2:1 |
| Button text on accent | 4.5:1 |
| Text on cards | 13.4:1 |
Use the Olive & oat palette in code
