Suggested color roles

primary

#F0F8FF (Alice Blue) - A clean, expansive primary for main backgrounds, providing an airy and fresh canvas.

secondary

#E6E6FA (Lavender Blush) - Offers a gentle, complementary tone for secondary content areas or soft accents.

accent

#E0FFFF (Aqua) - A subtle, cool accent ideal for interactive elements, icons, or a touch of refreshing detail.

background

#F8F8FF (Ghost White) - An almost-white base that ensures maximum clarity and a spacious feel for content.

text

#FFFACD (Light Yellow) - Best for decorative, very large text. For readability, use a dark neutral like charcoal (#333333) or a deep grey against lighter backgrounds.

Accessibility notes

  • Due to the extreme lightness of all colors, achieving sufficient contrast for text is challenging; prioritize dark text.
  • Avoid using #FFFACD for any body text; it has very poor contrast against other light palette colors.
  • For all crucial text, use a strong contrasting color like black or very dark grey (e.g., #222222) on #F0F8FF or #F8F8FF.
  • Reserve the light colors for backgrounds, large headings, or decorative elements where contrast is less critical.
