Suggested color roles

primary

secondary

Copper Rose (#D0ACAC) works well for subheadings, secondary UI elements, or supporting details, offering a muted yet distinct presence.

Rosy Brown (#E0C0C0) can be used for subtle highlights, interactive states, or decorative lines, adding a touch of mid-tone warmth.

background

Misty Rose (#FAE8E8) provides a very pale, soft, and inviting base, setting a calm and welcoming tone.

A dark brown or charcoal (#333333) is highly recommended for all body text to ensure optimal readability against the light backgrounds.

Accessibility notes

  • The lighter shades have low contrast with each other; rely on darker colors like #C09898 for all essential text.
  • Old Rose (#C09898) provides the best contrast for text against #FAE8E8 or #F0D4D4, suitable for headings.
  • Avoid using #FAE8E8 or #F0D4D4 for small, essential text due to readability concerns.
  • Ensure sufficient color differentiation for interactive components, especially when using adjacent light hues.
