Accessibility notes

  • Contrast is critical with such light colors; ensure darker text (e.g., charcoal) on #F5F5DC meets WCAG AA.
  • Avoid pairing very light colors like #F8F8FF and #E0FFFF for text and background to prevent readability issues.
  • Use #B0C4DE for larger text or as a background for darker text to ensure sufficient contrast.
  • Always test text legibility on all chosen background colors, especially for body copy.
