Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for #FF0000 and #FFD700 when used with white text; black text is often safer.
  • The soft pink #FFB6C1 will require dark text (e.g., black or #00BFFF) to pass WCAG AA standards.
  • Avoid pairing #FFD700 with #32CD32 for essential information due to potential low contrast.
  • White text generally works well on #00BFFF and #32CD32, but always verify contrast ratios.
