#EAEFF2 · #F2ECEE
Four independent scores (read the one that fits your goal): Readability 0/100 (fail) · Harmony 85/100 (split-complementary) · Distinguishable 13/100 (hard to tell apart) · Match 91/100 (near match). There is no single “good/bad” — a pair can clash for text yet be great for an outfit.
