Suggested color roles

primary

Utilize Tangerine (#FF8C00) as the dominant color for headers, main sections, or key brand elements to establish a strong, vibrant identity.

secondary

Employ Orange (#FFA500) for supporting elements, subheadings, or secondary calls-to-action, providing depth without overpowering the primary.

accent

Apply Tomato Red (#FF6347) sparingly for impactful calls-to-action, interactive elements, or alerts, ensuring high visibility and energy.

background

Use Pink (#FFC0CB) for light, airy backgrounds, large content blocks, or subtle UI elements to provide a soft, refreshing base.

text

For optimal readability, pair text with a dark charcoal (#333333) or a classic black against the lighter background shades. For headers, a rich dark brown or even a deep navy can offer sophisticated contrast.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast when using lighter colors like Pink (#FFC0CB) or Gold (#FFD700) for text backgrounds. Aim for WCAG AA or AAA compliance.
  • Be mindful of contrast between the vibrant oranges and reds. Use a contrast checker, especially for interactive elements, to ensure visibility for all users.
  • Avoid using #FF8C00 and #FFA500 together for critical information if color differentiation is the only indicator, as they are very similar in hue.
  • For text, always use a dark, high-contrast color (e.g., black or dark grey) against any of the palette's brighter shades to maintain readability.
