Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text, especially when using #7bb4d9 on #4c7ba3 or similar mid-tones.
  • The very light #ace7ff should be paired with a very dark text color (e.g., black or #0f1f2e) for readability.
  • Always check text and background color combinations against WCAG guidelines for readability.
  • Avoid using #ace7ff as a primary background for large text areas unless the text color is extremely dark and passes contrast.
