Suggested color roles

primary

Use #800000 (Maroon) for main headings, strong brand elements, or deep background sections, establishing a luxurious foundation.

secondary

Apply #B22222 (Firebrick) or #CD5C5C (Indian Red) for supporting content, subheadings, or borders, providing a rich, intense tone.

accent

Feature #FFB6C1 (Light Pink) for delicate highlights, interactive elements, or soft decorative details, adding an airy touch.

text

For dark backgrounds like #800000 or #B22222, use white or a very light off-white. For lighter backgrounds like #CD5C5C, #E37D7D, or #FFB6C1, a deep charcoal or black provides optimal readability.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for dark text on #CD5C5C (Indian Red), #E37D7D (Light Coral), and #FFB6C1 (Light Pink); dark text is crucial.
  • Pair lighter text (e.g., #FFFFFF) with #800000 (Maroon) and #B22222 (Firebrick) for optimal legibility.
  • Avoid using #E37D7D (Light Coral) with #FFB6C1 (Light Pink) for text/background without careful contrast checking due to their light values.
  • Test all color combinations against WCAG 2.1 AA standards, especially for interactive elements, as light pinks can sometimes be challenging.
