Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text, especially with the muted palette. Dark charcoal text on #D6C6B6 is recommended for readability.
  • Avoid using similar light colors for text and background; aim for a minimum WCAG AA contrast ratio of 4.5:1.
  • For interactive elements, ensure distinct hover/focus states, as color differences within this muted palette might be subtle.
  • Consider larger font sizes for body text to enhance readability, given the soft nature of these hues.
