Suggested color roles

primary

#ADD8E6 - This gentle blue serves as a calming primary color for headers, larger graphical elements, or section backgrounds.

secondary

#B0E0E6 - A slightly softer blue, useful for secondary navigation, subtle borders, or to add a touch of color to light backgrounds.

accent

#AFEEEE - This aqua-like shade can be used for delicate highlights, interactive element hover states, or small icons, adding a fresh sparkle.

background

#F0FFFF - An ethereal, almost white hue, perfect for expansive main content areas, providing a bright, clean, and airy canvas.

text

#ADD8E6 - Use this color for larger display text on #F0FFFF, or for body text, consider a very dark grey or charcoal for better accessibility on light backgrounds.

Accessibility notes

  • Most colors are very light; ensure high contrast for text by pairing with a dark grey or black.
  • Avoid using light blue text (e.g., #AFEEEE) on very light backgrounds (e.g., #F0FFFF) as it will lack sufficient contrast.
  • Use #ADD8E6 for larger headings or graphical elements, but not for small body text.
  • When using these light tones, ensure interactive elements have clear visual cues beyond color, such as underlines or icons.
