Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast when placing text on #FF4500 or #FF8C00; black or very dark text is usually required.
  • Avoid using #FF4500 and #FFA500 together for critical information due to potential low contrast.
  • Use #8B0000 for text on light backgrounds for better readability, or white text on #8B0000 itself.
  • Be mindful of colorblind users when using multiple red/orange shades; ensure differentiation isn't solely color-based.
