How the comparison works
We convert the requested sRGB hex code and every palette swatch to CIELAB using the D65 reference white. The result is the shortest straight-line distance between those coordinates. Distances of 10 or less are labeled close; 10–22 are flexible; larger distances suggest trying a different pairing. Those thresholds are editorial guidance.
Names such as navy cover many actual shades. Here, Espresso means #3C2415. Fabric, screens and cosmetic coverage can change the result. Methodology.
