  • Shade the main color (#F2545B) with the shadow color (#2D3047): color light first, then add the dark only in the deepest spots.
  • Keep the background (#F6FAFB) for the lightest parts and highlights, or leave the paper white there.

  • Blend the highlight (#FEA8A5) into the accent (#FAC05E) for a soft transition.
  • Blend the second color (#3FA7D6) into the detail color (#98CFEC) for a soft transition.
