Suggested color roles

primary

Use #4B0082 as a deep, royal primary color for large areas, conveying authority and spiritual depth.

secondary

Employ #00008B for supporting elements, offering a stable and rich navy blue contrast.

accent

Reserve #DAA520 for bright, opulent highlights, call-to-action buttons, or to simulate a golden glow.

background

A very dark neutral (e.g., #111111) is recommended for the main background to allow these intense colors to pop, or use #8B0000 for dramatic sections.

text

Utilize #DAA520 for headings or key text on dark backgrounds, and a crisp white (e.g., #FFFFFF) for general body text on #4B0082 or #00008B.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure #DAA520 text on #4B0082 or #00008B backgrounds meets WCAG contrast standards.
  • Avoid using #8B0000 or #006400 for small body text without significant background contrast due to their intensity.
  • Test color combinations for color blindness, especially the red and green hues, as they can be challenging.
  • For optimal legibility, use a very dark charcoal for text on any lighter, near-white background.
