Suggested color roles

primary

#FF0077 (Rose) - A vibrant and energetic primary color, excellent for main characters, prominent game elements, or a bold background color.

secondary

#7700FF (Violet) - Offers a powerful, electric counterpoint, ideal for secondary characters, UI borders, or dynamic special effects in games.

accent

#FF7700 (Orange) - A luminous, attention-grabbing accent for power-ups, alerts, or critical information that needs immediate visibility in a pixelated style.

background

#0077FF (Azure) - A dynamic and bright background that can command attention, best used sparingly. For a more versatile background, consider a deep blue like #00008B or black.

text

#00FF77 (Spring Green) - Effective for high-impact headlines or short, urgent messages. For body text, black or dark gray on lighter backgrounds, or white on darker backgrounds like a deep blue or black.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure high contrast when pairing #00FF77 or #FF7700 with light backgrounds; dark text is usually necessary.
  • Avoid using #FF0077, #7700FF, or #0077FF for small body text due to their intensity and potential for eye strain.
  • When using #0077FF as a background, ensure text colors (e.g., black or white) meet WCAG contrast ratios.
  • Prioritize dark text (e.g., black) on #00FF77, and white text on #FF0077 or #7700FF for optimal readability.
