Accessibility notes

  • All colors in this palette are very bright; use dark text (black or charcoal) for optimal contrast.
  • Avoid using light-colored text on these hues, as it will likely fail WCAG contrast requirements.
  • Ensure sufficient contrast for interactive elements, especially if they rely on color alone for distinction.
  • Consider using larger font sizes for text on these vibrant backgrounds to improve readability.
