Suggested color roles

primary

Use #4B0082 (Indigo) for dominant elements like main headings, hero sections, or primary interactive components, establishing a profound, luxurious base.

secondary

Employ #483D8B (Dark Slate Blue) for supporting content areas, navigation backgrounds, or secondary graphic elements, adding depth and stability.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure high contrast ratios for text, especially when using #6A5ACD on #2F4F4F or #4B0082, to meet WCAG AA standards.
  • Avoid placing #483D8B text directly on #4B0082 backgrounds as contrast may be insufficient for readability.
  • Use #8A2BE2 as an accent, not for large blocks of text, due to its intensity and potential for eye strain on dark backgrounds.
  • Consider using a slightly lighter grey or white for critical UI elements on very dark backgrounds for enhanced visual clarity.
