Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text when using #D4D4D4 (Soft Gray) on #EAEAEA (Light Gray); it may be too subtle for readability.
  • Pair #8F8F8F (Dark Gray) or black with #EAEAEA for text to meet WCAG AA contrast standards.
  • Avoid using #BDBDBD (Mid-Gray) on #D4D4D4 (Soft Gray) for small text; the contrast might be insufficient.
  • For interactive elements, ensure distinct visual cues beyond color, especially when using adjacent similar shades of gray.
