Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between the darker blues (#699EC9, #8EB8D7) and the lightest backgrounds (#D9EBF5, #EAF4F9) for text.
  • Avoid using the very light blues for text against each other, as their contrast will be insufficient for readability.
  • Verify that all interactive elements meet WCAG AA contrast standards, especially for smaller UI components.
  • Consider using a slightly darker grey or black for body text to guarantee legibility across all screens and devices.
