Accessibility notes

  • These pastels are light; always use dark text for body copy to meet WCAG AA contrast standards.
  • Avoid using #FFFACD or #DDA0DD for small text on similarly light backgrounds due to low contrast.
  • Ensure interactive elements (buttons, links) have sufficient contrast from their background for clear visibility.
  • Consider providing visual cues beyond color, such as underlines for links, to enhance accessibility.
