Accessibility notes

  • Ensure #8B4513 provides strong contrast against #F5DEB3 for all body text to meet WCAG AA guidelines.
  • Avoid using #C0C0C0 for small text on light backgrounds due to potential insufficient contrast; best for larger elements or as a background.
  • When using #A52A2A as a background, ensure text in #F5DEB3 or a very light shade has adequate contrast.
