Accessibility notes

Ensure #B22222 and #00BFFF have sufficient contrast against #F5DEB3 for all text sizes.
#FFFF00 should primarily be used as an accent or for very large text due to potential low contrast on light backgrounds.
Use #4682B4 as a text color for better readability against #F5DEB3 than lighter blues.
Always check contrast ratios, especially when pairing #FFFF00 with other mid-tone colors.
