Accessibility notes

  • Ensure #8EAFC8 text on #DCE9F1 meets WCAG AA contrast for body text; a darker neutral might be needed for small text.
  • Avoid using #E8EEED for any text, as its extremely light value will not provide sufficient contrast on most backgrounds.
  • Always verify contrast ratios for critical information and interactive components to ensure universal usability.
  • The lighter colors like #DCE9F1 and #E8EEED work best as backgrounds or subtle graphic elements, not for text.
