Suggested color roles

primary

Accessibility notes

  • This palette is very light; use the darkest color (#D4B8AE) for text on the lightest backgrounds (e.g., #FFEFEA) to maximize contrast.
  • Avoid using lighter shades like #EDDAD3 or #F5E9E4 for text at all due to extremely low contrast.
  • Ensure sufficient contrast for interactive elements, possibly by using bolder variants of the darkest color.
  • Consider using outlines or other visual cues in addition to color for interactive states.
