Suggestions for Color Roles:

    • Alternatives:
      • You could also consider Dark Teal ( #0B4F6C ) as a primary if you want a more modern feel with a bolder statement.
  2. Secondary Color:
    • Verdigris ( #49B8B8 ): This vibrant teal is a great choice for the secondary color, adding a refreshing and lively contrast to the primary brown.
    • Alternatives:
      • If you go with Dark Teal ( #0B4F6C ) as primary, then Verdigris can still work as a secondary color due to its brightness.
  3. Accent Colors:
    • Aged Cream ( #F5E6D3 or #F7EEDE ): Either cream can be an excellent accent color, providing a soft contrast and lightening the palette.
    • Charcoal Gray ( #4B4B4D ): This can be used for text and elements that need to stand out without overwhelming the other colors.
    • Gunmetal Gray ( #7E7B7A ): If you choose to include this, it can add depth and sophistication, especially for backgrounds or subtle accents.

Conclusion:

  • Primary: Umber Brown or Dark Teal
  • Secondary: Verdigris
  • Accent: Aged Cream (either option), Charcoal Gray, and optionally Gunmetal Gray.

Recommendation:

  • If you want a more classic vintage feel, go with Umber Brown as primary and Verdigris as secondary. The Aged Cream can provide lightness and warmth, while Charcoal Gray serves as a solid accent.
  • If you prefer a more modern twist, consider Dark Teal as your primary color.
