Accessibility notes

  • Ensure high contrast for text on #000000 background. #C0C0C0 text on #000000 is a good starting point.
  • Avoid using #4B0082 for small text on #000000 as it may not meet contrast requirements.
  • Bright colors like #FFFF00 and #00BFFF are best used for larger text or accents to prevent eye strain.
