secondary

Employ #E4D6ED (a light lavender) for softer accents, secondary buttons, or decorative elements to add an inviting, gentle contrast.

accent

Apply #C9E1E4 (a lighter blue-green) for subtle highlights, interactive states, or delicate graphic details that require a faint pop.

background

Utilize #F5F8FA (a near-white) as the primary background color to ensure an airy, clean canvas that allows other colors to float.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text on very light backgrounds like #F5F8FA; aim for dark gray or black for body text.
  • The very light colors, such as #E1EFF2 and #F5F8FA, have minimal contrast with each other; avoid using them for critical information side-by-side.
  • Use bolder font weights or larger text sizes when applying lighter colors like #C9E1E4 for information display.
  • Check WCAG contrast ratios for interactive elements, especially buttons and links, to ensure they are discernible.
