Accessibility notes

  • All colors are dark; ensure text contrast ratios meet WCAG AA standards, particularly for #486358 and #607B70.
  • Use generous line spacing and font sizes for text on these dark backgrounds to aid readability.
  • Avoid using multiple dark shades for small text elements; stick to white or near-white for clarity.
  • Ensure interactive elements have clear visual cues beyond color, such as underlines or icons, due to limited color contrast within the palette.
