  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text, especially when pairing mid-tones like `#A5A7A7` on backgrounds such as `#797E7E`.
  • Verify that `#D0CABF` (lightest) provides adequate contrast against `#515352` or `#383A38` for headlines or key information.
  • Interactive elements should clearly indicate their state (e.g., hover, active) with a noticeable shift in tone or color from the palette.
