Accessibility notes

  • For text on #FAEFFF and #F0E0FF, a dark color like #4B0082 or black is essential for readability.
  • #946B8E provides fair contrast on #FAEFFF for headings; for body text, consider a darker shade.
  • Avoid using lighter shades like #D9BEDF or #C090C8 for small text on #F0E0FF, as contrast will be insufficient.
  • When designing with these delicate pastels, always check contrast ratios to ensure WCAG compliance.
