Accessibility notes

  • Ensure good contrast for text, especially when using lighter shades like #DDA0DD or #FFC0CB on darker purples like #1A1A2E or #5D2E8E.
  • Avoid placing #FFC0CB on #DDA0DD as text due to insufficient contrast for readability.
  • For body text on #1A1A2E, pure white or a very light grey might offer better readability than the lighter purples.
  • Interactive elements should have distinct visual feedback for states, using the brighter pinks or white for emphasis.
