Accessibility notes

  • #7E6C8E (lavender-grey) text on #1A0F2B (dark indigo) should provide adequate contrast for body text.
  • Avoid using #A79BB3 (pale lilac) for small body text; its contrast will be too low on #7E6C8E or #4C3A63.
  • Ensure sufficient contrast for interactive elements, especially if using similar dark shades for backgrounds and foregrounds.
  • This palette thrives on subtle variations; careful testing of contrast ratios is crucial for readability.
