Suggested color roles

primary

`#FF0000` can be used for primary calls-to-action or important alerts due to its high visibility and energetic feel.

secondary

`#0000FF` provides a strong, stable secondary color for main text blocks, navigation, or large UI elements.

accent

`#FFFF00` or `#00FF00` are excellent for highlights, interactive states, or small, impactful graphic elements that need to stand out.

A neutral white or very light gray is recommended to allow these vibrant colors to truly pop.

For optimal readability, use black text against all colors in this palette. White text could work on `#0000FF` or `#FF0000`.

Accessibility notes

  • These pure colors are extremely saturated; ensure sufficient contrast with text, primarily using black or white.
  • Avoid using `#FF0000` and `#00FF00` adjacently for text or critical information, as this can be problematic for colorblind users.
  • When using `#FFFF00` (yellow), always pair it with black text to ensure readability, as white text will be invisible.
  • Be mindful of contrast ratios when combining any two colors from this palette, especially for background and foreground elements.
