Accessibility notes

  • High contrast is crucial: ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, especially with #FFD700 on white.
  • Avoid using similar value hues together for text and background to prevent readability issues.
  • Use #FF4500 and #FFD700 sparingly for text, or ensure large font sizes, as highly saturated colors can cause eye strain.
