Suggested color roles

primary

Use the energetic red-orange (#FF5A5F) for calls-to-action, key headlines, or brand elements requiring immediate attention.

secondary

The sunny yellow (#FFC14A) is excellent for secondary buttons, highlights, or graphical accents to maintain a cheerful tone.

accent

Apply the vibrant sky blue (#4BB3FD) or soft lavender (#B58EDF) for interactive states, notifications, or small, impactful details to add depth.

background

A light, neutral background like a very soft grey or white works best. For a playful touch, use the pastel green (#9DE0AD) as a subtle background for specific content blocks.

text

For optimal readability, use a dark charcoal or black text on light backgrounds. For text on darker palette colors, a crisp white is recommended.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast when pairing #FF5A5F or #FFC14A with white text; black text is generally safer.
  • The pastel green #9DE0AD might require dark text (e.g., black or #4BB3FD) to pass WCAG AA standards.
  • Avoid placing #FFC14A directly against #9DE0AD for essential information due to potential low contrast.
  • Pair #4BB3FD and #B58EDF with white or light gray text for better readability on elements like buttons.
