Suggested color roles

primary

Indian Red (#E17E7E) serves as a warm, prominent primary color for main call-to-actions, important titles, or key graphical elements.

secondary

Hot Pink (#FF9B9B) works well for subheadings, secondary interactive elements, or supporting details, offering a cheerful yet soft presence.

Light Coral (#FFB8B8) can be used for subtle highlights, hover states, or decorative lines, adding a touch of brighter warmth.

Accessibility notes

  • The lighter shades offer minimal contrast; use darker colors like #E17E7E or black for all essential text.
  • Indian Red (#E17E7E) on Peach Puff (#FEECEB) provides the best contrast within the palette for text, suitable for headings.
  • Avoid using #FFD8D8 or #FFB8B8 for small, critical text against the lightest background due to readability issues.
  • Ensure interactive elements are clearly distinguishable through size or borders, not solely relying on subtle color shifts.
