Suggested color roles

primary

Use #000000 as a strong primary for outlines and backgrounds, grounding the vibrant hues. #DC143C can be a bold primary for action.

secondary

Apply #0000FF or #008000 for subheadings, larger content blocks, or secondary characters, maintaining visual excitement.

accent

Introduce #FFFF00 for speech bubbles, highlights, call-to-action buttons, or dramatic effects to provide a powerful pop.

background

The solid #000000 provides an excellent, high-contrast backdrop, making all other colors truly stand out.

text

For optimal readability, use white or #FFFF00 text on #000000. Black text works well on #FFFF00. Avoid red text on blue.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text, especially when using yellow (#FFFF00) which requires very dark text.
  • Avoid pairing red (#DC143C) and green (#008000) for critical information due to potential colorblindness issues.
  • White text on #000000, #DC143C, or #0000FF generally provides excellent contrast.
  • Limit the use of highly saturated colors for large blocks of body text to prevent eye strain.
