Accessibility notes

  • Ensure #75451D is used for body text on #F4D39C or #E0AF62 backgrounds for optimal readability.
  • Avoid using lighter shades like #E0AF62 or #CC8C42 for small text without strong contrast.
  • The warmer mid-tones blend well but require careful text pairing to meet WCAG contrast standards.
  • Consider a very dark brown or charcoal for main text against the lightest background for maximum legibility.
