Accessibility notes

  • Ensure significant contrast for any text or interactive elements, especially when using the lighter shades like #E0FFFF and #F0F8FF.
  • Avoid using #A2D2FF and #B3CDE0 as text colors against each other due to potential low contrast.
  • Darker colors like #6497B1 should be used for critical text against light backgrounds to meet WCAG AA standards.
  • Provide clear visual cues for interactive states beyond color alone, given the subtle differences between light blues.
