How to use a neutral color palette
- Use the lightest neutral for backgrounds, a mid neutral for borders and cards, and the darkest for text.
- Add one accent color for buttons and links; neutrals let it stand out. See colors that go together.
- Keep neutrals consistently warm (beige, taupe) or cool (gray, slate) so the palette feels intentional.
- Check text contrast: light grays on white often fail WCAG.
