Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors, especially when using #FF4500 or #FF8C00 for text.
  • Darker colors like #8B0000 and #CC0000 will require light-colored text (e.g., white) to meet WCAG AA contrast standards.
  • Avoid placing light text on #FFD700 unless the contrast ratio is rigorously checked for accessibility.
  • Consider using a dark neutral (e.g., #000000) for primary text on any of the palette's warmer colors to maximize readability.
