Accessibility notes

  • All colors are extremely light; dark text (black or very dark grey) is essential for readability to meet WCAG AA standards.
  • Avoid pairing #FDFDE8 or #FDECF0 with other light pastels for text or critical information due to low contrast.
  • Ensure all interactive elements have a clear visual indicator (e.g., a darker border on hover) beyond color alone.
  • Prioritize larger font sizes and generous line spacing when using this palette to improve overall readability.
