Kissed by Mist as a scale
Eleven steps from #fcccf5, built by moving lightness in OKLCh and keeping the hue where it is. Every step is gamut-mapped by giving up chroma, never by clipping channels — clipping is what turns a light blue purple.

What is true of this ramp
- 10 of the 10 adjacent pairs differ by ΔE00 2 or more. Every step here is a step a reader can see.
- The tightest pair is 200 to300, at ΔE00 5.1.
- 2 steps had to give up chroma to stay inside sRGB — 50, 100. A wider display would show them more vividly.
- 4 steps clear 4.5:1 on white (700, 800, 900, 950), and 7 on black (50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600).
Harmonies from Kissed by Mist
complement
the hue directly opposite, at the same lightness. #baedc5 (+180°)
analogous
the two neighbours 30° either side. #e4d5ff (+-30°), #ffcfdb (+30°) — chroma capped by sRGB.
split complement
the two hues either side of the opposite, 30° apart from it. #d6e6ae (+150°), #a5efe1 (+210°)
triad
the circle divided in three. #f0dda4 (+120°), #a2ecfa (+240°)
tetrad
the circle divided in four. #ffd4b2 (+90°), #baedc5 (+180°), #bfe3ff (+270°) — chroma capped by sRGB.
