Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast when using #525252 for text on #1B1B1B; a lighter gray or white might be necessary for body text.
  • Avoid using #363636 as text on #1B1B1B without careful contrast checking; it's better for subtle UI elements.
  • #4A004A might not have enough contrast for small text on very dark backgrounds; use for larger headings or decorative elements.
