Suggested color roles

primary

Use #ADD8E6 as the most saturated primary color for key headings or important UI elements, providing a gentle anchor.

secondary

Employ #B0E0E6 for supporting information, sub-sections, or subtle graphic details, maintaining the palette's light feel.

accent

Apply #AEEEEE sparingly for fresh highlights, interactive states, or small icons to add a subtle, invigorating sparkle.

background

Utilize #DDEEFF as the main background color, offering an incredibly light, airy, and expansive canvas that enhances clarity.

text

For optimal readability, use a dark charcoal or deep navy for all body text, ensuring a strong contrast against the light blue backgrounds.

Accessibility notes

  • With many light colors, contrast is paramount. Always use dark text (black or charcoal) on all background colors.
  • Avoid using light blues for text on other light blues, as contrast will likely be insufficient.
  • Ensure interactive elements, even subtle ones, have enough contrast to be clearly distinguishable.
  • When using #DDEEFF as a background, ensure text color is dark enough to meet WCAG AA standards.
