Accessibility notes

  • Pastel palettes often have low contrast; ensure all text, especially small text, has sufficient contrast with its background.
  • Avoid using light text on any of these light pastel backgrounds; always opt for dark text (e.g., black or dark gray).
  • Test color combinations for WCAG AA compliance, particularly for interactive elements and critical information.
  • For users with color vision deficiencies, differentiate elements not only by color but also by shape, icon, or text.
