Suggested color roles

primary

Use #ADD8E6 (soft light blue) as a calm and airy foundation for main content areas.

secondary

Employ #FFC0CB (pastel pink) for sweet and inviting elements, or as a gentle secondary color.

accent

Introduce #FFDAB9 (light peach) as a warm and gentle highlight for subtle accents or decorative details.

background

Utilize #F0F8FF (very light blue-white) as an airy and clean background, providing ample space and lightness.

text

A dark grey (e.g., #4A4A4A) or charcoal is essential for all text to ensure optimal readability, as all palette colors are very light.

Accessibility notes

  • All colors in this palette are very light; none should be used for body text directly due to insufficient contrast.
  • Always use a dark grey or black text on backgrounds like #F0F8FF or #E6E6FA for adequate readability (WCAG AA).
  • These pastels work best for large shapes, illustrations, background gradients, or subtle UI elements.
  • Ensure interactive elements have a clear visual state change, perhaps a slightly darker shade on hover, due to the low contrast between colors.
