Accessibility notes

Ensure sufficient contrast when using #6E2E1D (text) on #CD853F (background) for readability, checking WCAG AA standards.
Darker browns like #8B4513 or #A0522D may require light text (e.g., white or a very light cream) for adequate contrast.
Avoid placing #D2691E (Rust) directly on #CD853F (Peru) for small text, as contrast might be insufficient.
Use a color contrast checker for all text and interactive elements, especially when combining similar tonal values.
