Accessibility notes

  • Ensure strong contrast for text on these dark backgrounds; white or very light text is crucial for WCAG AA compliance.
  • Avoid using too many dark purples together for small text or critical information, as differentiation can be difficult.
  • Leverage the varying depths of purple to create visual hierarchy, ensuring interactive elements stand out clearly.
  • Always test color combinations with accessibility tools to confirm readability, especially for users with low vision.
