#1b1b1brgb(27, 27, 27)hsl(0, 0%, 11%)oklch(0.222 0 0)N26 Text on this page is the real value, not a screenshot: exact hex, RGB, HSL and OKLCH, ten tints and ten shades, classic harmonies, and WCAG contrast with fixes — plus the 51 public brands that use it and the palettes it appears in.
Charcoal, Amber and Blue lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Charcoal is the text near-black that reads cleanly against N26 Text without the hard edge of pure #000.
Amber is paired with N26 Text in 18 real palettes, including Warner Bros.'s brand system and Trailhead, as the accent.
25 real palettes, including Signal's brand system and CVS's brand system put Blue beside N26 Text, as the supporting colour.
Blue Violet is paired with N26 Text in 10 real palettes, including Yahoo's brand system and ClickUp's brand system, as the supporting colour.
5 real palettes, including Graphite Mono and Estate put Blush Pink beside N26 Text, as the accent.
5 real palettes, including Woodsmoke and State Farm's brand system put Brown beside N26 Text, as the accent.
4 real palettes, including Mailchimp's brand system and Qatar Airways's brand system put Burgundy beside N26 Text, as the accent.
Burlywood is paired with N26 Text in 6 real palettes, including Coffee Bar and Kiln, as the accent.
| N26 Text as text | Ratio | AA | AA large | AAA | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Aaon white | 17.22:1 | pass | pass | pass | Passes AAA — no fix needed. |
Aaon black | 1.22:1 | fail | fail | fail |
Fixes keep hue and saturation and move lightness only, so the suggestion stays on-brand. Ratios are symmetric: the same numbers apply with N26 Text as the background.
Ink-black on warm paper with a single red — the broadsheet hierarchy that lets typography lead.
Near-monochrome with one burnt-orange highlight — an art director's default because it never competes with the work.
Ochre and walnut on unbleached stock, with teal as the counterpoint — a features-section palette with some heat in it.
Two greys and one ink-blue link color: the palette of a well-set book page.
A sober docs palette: one blue for interactive, one green for success, zinc greys for everything else.
A greyscale system with a single amber — the accent does all the work, so allow one per screen.
Orange is the rarest SaaS primary, which is exactly why it stands out on a pricing page; cyan keeps it from feeling like a hardware store.
Orange, mango and mint — a sugar rush; keep the type black so it stays legible under all that color.
Green, blue and orange at full saturation: the gamified-learning look, where every color is a reward.
Rust, pine and sun — high-visibility earth tones that read at a distance and on a trail sign.
Orange, blue and green — the colors of playground equipment; loud, cheerful, obviously for kids.
A pure greyscale with a single electric blue — the portfolio palette that makes work look considered.
Amber and oxblood on smoky brown — a fireside dark mode that photographs whisky, leather and wool.
Cherry red, mint-teal and butter yellow — chrome-and-vinyl retro; the red does the work, the teal cools it.
Cranberry, pine and brass on a charcoal night — the holiday palette without the clichés, because the surface is cold.
Stone greys with a faint warmth — Tailwind's stone scale used as a whole palette: interfaces that want to disappear.
N26 Text reads as neutral, dark, luxury. The font library is tagged with the same vocabulary:
Point any MCP client at the shared colors endpoint and your agent gets the same engine as this page — direct_palette, edit_direction, check_palette, check_contrast — read-only, no key. Every direction it proposes comes with a /colors/d/… link: open it, lock what you like, paste the link back, and the agent edits rather than re-rolls.
