Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for dark text on #FDF9F7, #F0E8E1, and #E0D3C4, as these are very light shades.
  • Avoid using light-colored text on #CDB8A1 or #AF9B83 for small fonts; dark text is generally preferred.
  • When using any of the lighter shades for text, choose a background with adequate contrast (e.g., #AF9B83).
