Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between dark text (charcoal, medium gray) and all light pastel backgrounds.
  • Avoid using any of the palette's colors for text on other light colors; they will fail contrast checks for readability.
  • Use these colors primarily for backgrounds, illustrations, and non-textual elements.
  • When using for critical information, pair with a highly contrasting dark text color like black or #333333.
  • Test colorblind compatibility for subtle distinctions between the pinks and lavender.
