Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast when pairing light pastels like #D1FFEA or #FFEFD5 with white text; a dark text is generally required.
  • For interactive elements, use #DDA0DD against lighter backgrounds for better visibility and clear distinction.
  • Avoid using #F0F8FF as a background for light text; it's too subtle and will fail contrast guidelines.
  • Check color contrast ratios for all text and UI elements, especially with the very light colors, to ensure readability.
