Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between #A0A0A0 text and #F8F8F8 or #E8E8E8 backgrounds; prefer darker shades for body text for readability.
  • For critical text and interactive elements, consider using a darker grey (e.g., #A0A0A0) or even black to meet WCAG AA contrast standards.
  • Avoid using very light greys like #E8E8E8 or #D0D0D0 for small text.
  • Use distinct visual cues beyond color, such as underlines or icons, for interactive elements, especially with subtle color differences.
