Accessibility notes

  • #6A689B provides the best contrast for text on the darkest hues like #0B0A21 and #1C1A3F, ensuring readability.
  • Use #4A487B for larger text or headings where its contrast with darker blues and purples is acceptable, but avoid for small body text.
  • For general body text, ensure sufficient contrast by choosing #6A689B or a bright white to meet WCAG AA standards.
  • Avoid using #1C1A3F directly on #0B0A21 for small text due to potentially low contrast, which can hinder readability.
