Accessibility notes

Ensure sufficient contrast between #7A3F00 text and #F5DEB3 (near-white) backgrounds for WCAG AA compliance.
Avoid using #FAD02E or #FF9933 for small text on similar background shades, as contrast may be insufficient.
For critical information, pair the darkest color #7A3F00 with the lightest background (e.g., #F5DEB3).
Consider using pure black or a very dark charcoal for body text on very light backgrounds for optimal legibility.
