Suggested color roles

primary

Use #4A0000 (Dark Maroon) or #8A2BE2 (Blue-Violet) as a foundational background for depth and richness.

secondary

Apply #006400 (Forest Green) or #1E90FF (Dodger Blue) for supporting sections, subheadings, or illustrative elements.

accent

Incorporate #FFD700 (Gold) for metallic details, key highlights, or elegant typography.

background

A deep jewel tone like #4A0000 or #006400 makes for an opulent background, or a very dark neutral (e.g., near-black) to let the gems sparkle.

text

White or a light cream color provides excellent contrast for body text on dark backgrounds. Use #FFD700 for elegant headings or important callouts.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure high contrast when placing text on these deep colors; white or #FFD700 are generally good choices.
  • Avoid using #8A2BE2 or #1E90FF as background colors for small text unless contrasted with white.
  • Verify that #FFD700 has sufficient contrast against darker backgrounds for readability, especially for body text.
  • Be mindful of color combinations that might appear too dark or muddy together without enough contrast.
