What colors go with antique white

Each match keeps antique white's saturation and lightness and rotates only the hue, so the relationship is the wheel's and nothing else. Any of these can be an accent beside antique white as the primary; the harmony guides explain which rule suits which interface.

Complementary

The opposite hue, 180° away — the strongest contrast, best kept to one accent per screen.

#d7e6fa

Split-complementary

The two neighbors of the complement, at 150° and 210° — most of the contrast with less tension, and two accents instead of one.

#d7f8fa

#d9d7fa

Triadic

Two hues at 120° and 240° — three evenly spaced signals, the scheme charts and category colors want.

#d7faeb

#ebd7fa

Analogous

The neighbors at −30° and +30° — calm and cohesive, with emphasis coming from weight and size rather than hue.

#fadad7

#f8fad7

Tints and shades of antique white

Using antique white in an interface

The near-whites are page backgrounds. A canvas at ivory or alice blue instead of pure white is the difference between a page that feels designed and one that feels blank — and it is exactly what a tinted `background` role does in a semantic palette. Whichever role antique white takes, define it once as a token rather than repeating the keyword: the semantic palette guide covers the eight roles, and the guides to complementary, triadic and the other color schemes explain how to weight the matches above.
