Suggested color roles

primary

#87CEFA (A bright, yet serene sky blue, excellent for main headings, prominent buttons, or key UI elements that need a gentle focal point.)

secondary

#ADD8E6 (A light, cool blue, ideal for subheadings, secondary interactive elements, or subtle graphical features, offering gentle contrast.)

accent

#B0E0E6 (A slightly muted light blue, perfect for delicate highlights, hover states, or subtle design accents that need to glimmer.)

background

#F0F8FF (A pristine, almost-white background that ensures maximum readability and a spacious, airy feel for any design.)

text

#87CEFA (While a light blue, it can be used for large headings on a white background, but a darker charcoal or black is recommended for body text for optimal readability.)

Accessibility notes

  • For body text, use a dark grey or black as the palette lacks a sufficiently dark option for contrast on #F0F8FF.
  • Ensure #87CEFA or #ADD8E6 used for interactive elements have a clear visual change on focus/hover for accessibility.
  • Avoid using lighter colors like #E0FFFF or #F0F8FF for text, as they will not meet contrast requirements on light backgrounds.
  • Always test text and background color combinations against WCAG guidelines for optimal user experience.
