Using this palette

Scandinavian interior palettes work by keeping saturation low across the entire set rather than by using any specific hue — the calm comes from every swatch sitting close together in chroma, so nothing visually shouts. #3E4A54 is the sole exception to that low-contrast rule and the only swatch that should ever carry a sentence of copy; treat the rest strictly as surface and background color. #D9D0C1 and #EAE0D5 are close enough to be near-interchangeable and that's intentional — real linen and pale birch wood are genuinely that close in hue and value, and the redundancy reads as material honesty rather than a design mistake.
