Mars #AD6242 Full codes, palettes, and pairings →The color
Why Mars works
Mars brings a warm and rustic feel to a palette. This medium brown suits autumn design and coffee and food branding. Reach for a cyan companion shade to give Mars maximum contrast. On white it reads clearly at 4.56:1 contrast, safe for body text under WCAG AA.

The day's palette
Five colors, engine-built: a mid shade for depth, Mars itself, two tints for light surfaces, and the complement for accents. Every swatch copies its hex; every name opens that color's page.
