Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text using #B69DC0 on #D9CDE8; it will likely require large, bold fonts.
  • #4D2B5D offers strong contrast for light text (e.g., white or #D9CDE8), making it suitable for primary text on dark elements.
  • Avoid using #8F6D9A for small body text on #D9CDE8 as contrast may be insufficient.
