Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text using #C71585 on #DA70D6; consider using a very dark color for body text.
  • #4B0082 offers strong contrast for white or very light text, making it highly suitable for primary text on dark backgrounds.
  • Avoid placing #A020F0 text directly on #C71585 or #DA70D6 without careful contrast checks due to similar luminance.
  • When using #8B008B for text, ensure the background provides WCAG AA compliant contrast (e.g., a light gray or white).
