  • All colors are very light; ensure text has sufficient contrast by using dark text (e.g., black, dark gray, or navy).
  • Avoid using light text on any of these pastel backgrounds to prevent readability issues, especially for small fonts.
  • When using #F9F9D1 or #F8E6FE as backgrounds, ensure any overlaid text or icons are significantly darker.
