Suggested color roles

primary

#A7E4F2 - A light, refreshing aqua, excellent for main content areas or primary UI elements, providing a clean feel.

secondary

#C6EFFD - An even lighter, airy blue, perfect for supporting sections, subtle headers, or background accents.

accent

#88D9E6 - The most vibrant aqua, used sparingly for impactful calls-to-action, icons, or refreshing highlights.

background

#E0FFFF - A very light, ethereal white-blue, providing an expansive and clean canvas for design elements.

text

Use a dark charcoal or black for body text, or #88D9E6 for legible headings on lighter backgrounds, ensuring sufficient contrast.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure robust contrast for text, as many colors are light; pair with dark text (e.g., black).
  • #E0FFFF and #FAFAD2 should only be used as backgrounds with very dark text (e.g., #88D9E6 or black).
  • Avoid placing light text on any of these colors, as contrast will likely be insufficient.
  • Verify contrast ratios for all interactive elements, especially against adjacent light colors.
