Palettes

What are Chocolate Cosmos Color Palette Codes?

Each of these is a hue rotation from #58111A. They are generated, not curated, so they are exact.

Complementary

Half a turn away is #11584F, a dark, saturated teal. This is the widest separation the wheel offers, and the reason complementary pairs are the default for anything that must stand out. Neither is especially saturated, so this pairing stays calm enough for large areas of both.

Analogous

Either side sit #58113E and #582C11, 30 degrees out. Low tension by construction: useful when you need several related tones that still feel like one choice.

Triadic

#1A5811 and #111A58 complete an even 120 degree split. Three fully independent hues, so one has to lead: keep this base dominant and let the other two appear in small quantities.

Split-complementary

Instead of the direct complement, this takes the two hues either side of it: #11582C and #113E58. Almost the same contrast, without the edge shimmer a true complementary pair produces at high saturation.

Tetradic

Two complementary pairs forming a rectangle: this base with #11584F, and #3E5811 with #2C1158. The richest of the five and the hardest to balance, so treat this base as the lead and hold the other three well back.

Accessibility

Measured against white and against black, with a separate verdict for each element type. Small text, large text and UI components have different thresholds, so one pass or fail for the whole color would be wrong roughly a third of the time.

Chocolate Cosmos clears WCAG AA against white at 13.91:1, so it is safe for body copy as well as headings. Text placed on it should be white, which gives 13.91:1.

Color vision

How Chocolate Cosmos looks with color blindness

Around 300 million people see color differently from the way it is specified. Each card shows the actual color beside how it appears, and how common that form of vision is.

Protanopia

About 1% of men

actual

#444318

Chocolate Cosmos changes substantially here. ΔE 41.6

No working red cones. Reds darken sharply and drift toward the same muddy olive as green.

Deuteranopia

About 1% of men

actual

#474B18

Chocolate Cosmos changes substantially here. ΔE 46.4

No working green cones. With the milder deuteranomaly at nearer 6% of men, this is by far the most common form, and the one worth designing around.

Tritanopia

About 1 in 10,000

actual

#561616

Chocolate Cosmos shifts slightly here. ΔE 4.3

No working blue cones. Blues shift toward green and yellows toward pink. Rare, and unlike the others it is not sex-linked, so it affects men and women equally.

Achromatopsia

About 1 in 30,000

actual

#2C2C2C

Chocolate Cosmos changes substantially here. ΔE 35.4

No color vision at all. Also a fair proxy for how the color survives a greyscale print or a failing screen.

To a deuteranope, the most common form, Chocolate Cosmos reads as #474B18. That is a shift of ΔE 46.4, so it is a different color to roughly one man in sixteen. It sits in the red end of the spectrum, which is exactly where red-green deficiency does its damage. Never pair it with a green of similar lightness to signal a difference in meaning: to a large minority the two become one color. The widest shift is under deuteranopia, at ΔE 46.4. The rule this leads to needs no simulator: never let color be the only thing carrying a message. Add a label, an icon, or a clear difference in lightness, and the problem disappears for everyone.

Meaning

What is the Meaning of Chocolate Cosmos Color?

Chocolate Cosmos reads as warmth and confidence. It is dark enough to hold white type without help, and at 68% saturation with a perceptual lightness of 18 it behaves as a warm color, which is the practical reason it turns up where it does.

What are Other Names of Chocolate Cosmos Color?

The closest CSS keyword is Maroon (#800000), though it is not a match: Delta-E 29.6 means the difference is visible side by side. For print the nearest Pantone is PMS 505 C at #661E2B. The name Chocolate Cosmos comes from the community color-name index rather than a standards body, so you will meet it under other names elsewhere.

How is Chocolate Cosmos Color Made?

On a screen Chocolate Cosmos is made by additive light: 88 red, 17 green and 26 blue out of 255, with red leading and 17 as the floor. In print it is subtractive instead, mixed as 0%, 81%, 70%, 65%. Starting from the pure hue at 352 degrees, Chocolate Cosmos is a shade, so it is that hue with black added.
