How to use Rustic Barn Wood

secondary

Employ #A0522D for supporting sections or call-to-action buttons, offering a slightly warmer, inviting feel.

background

Utilize #2E190D as a deep, grounding background for a strong, luxurious base, or #4D2A18 for a slightly less intense dark backdrop.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast when pairing lighter browns with white text; aim for a minimum WCAG AA ratio.
  • Use #2E190D or #4D2A18 for text on very light backgrounds (e.g., off-white) for optimal readability.
  • Avoid using mid-tone browns like #A0522D on similar mid-tone backgrounds to prevent low contrast issues.
  • Consider using a bold font for text on colors like #693A1F to enhance legibility, even if contrast is acceptable.
