Accessibility notes

  • Darker reds like #450F15 or #5C151F provide excellent contrast with white or light cream text for optimal readability.
  • When using #E04F5C, ensure text colors are sufficiently dark (e.g., #450F15 or black) to meet WCAG AA contrast standards.
  • Avoid using mid-tone reds like #7A1F2A for small text on a similar background; reserve for larger titles or UI elements.
  • Consider providing a light background option for extensive body text if the primary design relies heavily on dark reds.
