Suggested color roles

primary

This strong red (#E74C3C) is excellent for primary calls to action, prominent headlines, or main graphic elements, radiating energy and urgency.

secondary

A clear, reliable blue (#3498DB) that provides a cool counterpoint, ideal for subheadings, navigation links, or secondary graphical elements.

accent

Deploy this brilliant yellow (#F1C40F) for highlights, alerts, or small interactive elements to add a joyous pop and draw immediate attention.

background

A clean, very light gray or off-white is recommended to provide a neutral canvas, allowing these intense colors to pop without overwhelming the design.

text

For optimal readability, use a dark charcoal or black for body text. White text is necessary on the darker primary, secondary, green, and violet colors.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text on brighter colors like #F1C40F (yellow) and #27AE60 (green); use very dark text.
  • Avoid using red (#E74C3C) and green (#27AE60) for critical information that relies solely on color distinction.
  • The high saturation of the palette means judicious use of whitespace is important to prevent visual fatigue and maintain clarity.
  • Provide clear visual cues for interactive states, as the vibrant colors might make subtle changes less obvious.
