text

For optimal readability, use a dark gray or charcoal text. Avoid using any of the pastel palette colors for small body text due to low contrast.

Accessibility notes

  • Text contrast is paramount; always use dark text (e.g., black or dark gray) on these light pastel backgrounds to ensure readability.
  • Avoid using any of the palette colors for small body text, as they will likely not meet WCAG contrast guidelines.
  • Ensure interactive elements are clearly distinguishable, relying on more than just color (e.g., size, underline, bolding).
  • The color #F0E68C offers slightly more depth but still requires dark text for acceptable contrast.
