Hyperlink Blue sets the weight of the palette in trust and stability, and Render Grey is the swatch that breaks rank: a single light gray that stops the set reading as one note.

JPEG Green and Retail White sit 47 points of lightness apart, enough to separate a foreground from a background without forcing it.
