Accessibility notes

  • Ensure dark text (black, charcoal) has sufficient contrast against all pastel backgrounds (#FF69B4, #ADD8E6, #98FB98).
  • The bright #FFFF00 and #FF4500 should be used as accents and carefully checked for contrast if used for text on lighter backgrounds.
  • Avoid using light colors for text on other light colors (e.g., #98FB98 on #ADD8E6) as contrast will be low.
  • Consider providing high-contrast outlines for graphic elements to aid visibility for colorblind users.
