Suggested color roles

primary

Use #F7CAD0 (Rose Pink) for backgrounds or large sections to establish a soft, welcoming base.

secondary

Employ #B3E0E1 (Light Blue) for navigation, subheadings, or complementary design elements, offering a calming contrast.

accent

Apply #F6D8AC (Creamy Peach) for subtle highlights, decorative details, or interactive elements to add warmth without boldness.

background

The very light #FDE2E4 (Blush White) or #D5ECC2 (Sage Green) provides an airy, clean canvas for content.

text

For optimal readability, use a dark gray or charcoal text (e.g., #4A4A4A) against these light pastel backgrounds.

Accessibility notes

  • All colors are very light; text should be dark (e.g., #333333 or #000000) for sufficient contrast.
  • Avoid using any light-colored text on these backgrounds, as it will likely be unreadable for many users.
  • When layering pastels, ensure there is enough tonal difference to distinguish elements clearly.
  • For interactive elements, consider a subtle border or shadow in addition to color change for hover states.
