Suggested color roles

primary

A charming, slightly deeper rose pink #E087B9 that provides a lovely anchor for the palette, ideal for main headings or key brand elements.

secondary

A serene, mid-tone blue #7FB0E0 that offers a calming presence. Excellent for secondary sections, backgrounds, or subtle interactive elements.

accent

A delicate blush pink #F0C4DA, perfect for soft highlights, decorative patterns, or subtle accents that add a touch of warmth.

background

A creamy, warm off-white #F6EDDC that serves as an excellent, gentle backdrop, allowing the pastel colors to harmonize beautifully.

text

While light, this sky blue #B6D9EF can be used for large decorative text or headlines on darker elements. For body text on #F6EDDC, a dark neutral like charcoal or black is highly recommended for readability.

Accessibility notes

  • Avoid using #F6EDDC (creamy off-white), #B6D9EF (light blue), or #F0C4DA (blush pink) for body text; their contrast is too low on most backgrounds.
  • For optimal readability, use a dark neutral color (e.g., charcoal or black) for body text, especially on #F6EDDC or #B6D9EF.
  • #E087B9 (rose pink) on #F6EDDC (creamy off-white) might pass for large text but verify contrast for smaller sizes.
  • Ensure there is sufficient visual separation and contrast when combining light pastels, particularly for interactive elements.
