Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between #BB1320 and the darker background colors like #2F070B for interactive elements.
  • Verify readability for text using #93101C on backgrounds such as #4B090F; consider a lighter text color if contrast is low.
  • Avoid using shades like #2F070B as text on #4B090F as the contrast will be insufficient.
  • For body text on very dark reds, a bright off-white or light gray is essential for optimal readability.
