Accessibility notes

  • Ensure light text (like near-white or #D4AF37) on #696969 background achieves sufficient contrast for readability.
  • Avoid using #A9A9A9 on #696969 for small text, as contrast will likely be too low.
  • The golds #B8860B and #D4AF37 will require dark text (e.g., #4F4F4F or black) for good contrast when used as backgrounds.
  • Use #4F4F4F for primary content text on very light backgrounds (if introduced) to ensure legibility.
