Accessibility notes

  • Ensure high contrast when pairing #F4A460 with other colors; it might be too vibrant for small text on light backgrounds.
  • Check that #9ACD32 provides sufficient contrast against #D2B48C for text and interactive elements.
  • Avoid using #BDB76B for small text on light backgrounds due to its muted nature, which can reduce readability.
