#EFEFEA · #F3EDF0
Four independent scores (read the one that fits your goal): Readability 0/100 (fail) · Harmony 46/100 (triadic (soft)) · Distinguishable 4/100 (hard to tell apart) · Match 90/100 (near match). There is no single “good/bad” — a pair can clash for text yet be great for an outfit.
Linen and Lavender Blush are very close (ΔE 5). They have distinctly different hues (90° apart) and their lightness is similar, so they read as two same-weight colours.
Linen text on Lavender Blush: 1.00:1 (Fail); Lavender Blush text on Linen: 1.00:1 (Fail). Neither meets AA at body size — nudging one color to #6D6D68 clears it.
Triadic (soft) — workable but not a textbook harmony (harmony 46/100). This is about how they look together (clothing, interiors, branding), independent of text contrast.
Not at body size — the best direction is only 1.0:1, below the 4.5:1 minimum. Nudging one colour to #6D6D68 clears AA.
Their CIE76 ΔE is about 5 — very close.
a very near match (ΔE 4.6) — fine for most matching.
