Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text when using #C0C0C0 (Mid-Gray) on #DCDCDC (Light Gray); it may be too subtle for readability.
  • Pair #708090 (Slate Gray) or black with #DCDCDC for text to meet WCAG AA contrast standards.
  • Avoid using #A9A9A9 (Dark Gray) on #C0C0C0 (Mid-Gray) for small text; the contrast might be insufficient.
