Accessibility notes

  • #FFD700 (pure gold) text on #006400 (dark green) provides good contrast for headings, but verify for body text.
  • #3CB371 (medium sea green) text on #006400 (dark green) will have low contrast; use for large display text only.
  • Avoid using #FF4500 (orange-red) text on #FFD700 (pure gold) due to low contrast.
  • Ensure interactive elements have distinct hover/focus states, especially with these strong, saturated colors.
